The correct way to cache responses in django rest system

Question

I am aware of https://github.com/chibisov/drf-extensions, but the assembly failed.

How should responses be cached for general views? For instance:

class PropertyList(generics.ListAPIView):

    queryset = Property.objects.all().prefetch_related("photos")
    serializer_class = PropertyListSerializer


    filter_backends = (filters.DjangoFilterBackend,)
    filter_fields = ('featured', 'state', 'price_cents','location', 'status')
    ordering_fields = ('expiration_date',)

Is the implementation of the list method from ListModelMixin the only option?

Answer 1

There are several solutions for this:

• You can use Cache for APIview and ViewSets with decorators such as cache_pageor vary_on_cookie. as below:

  class UserViewSet(viewsets.Viewset):
  
  # Cache requested url for each user for 2 hours
  @method_decorator(cache_page(60*60*2))
  @method_decorator(vary_on_cookie)
  def list(self, request, format=None):
      content = {
          'user_feed': request.user.get_user_feed()
      }
      return Response(content)
