Caching in REST Framework works well with the cache utilities
provided in Django.

## Using cache with apiview and viewsets
Django provides a [`method_decorator`][decorator] to use
decorators with class based views. This can be used with
2019-02-14 03:00:16 +03:00
other cache decorators such as [`cache_page`][page] and
[`vary_on_cookie`][cookie].
```python
2019-11-01 20:56:59 +03:00
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
from django.views.decorators.vary import vary_on_cookie
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework import viewsets
2019-11-01 20:56:59 +03:00
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)
2019-11-01 20:56:59 +03:00
class PostView(APIView):
# Cache page for the requested url
@method_decorator(cache_page(60*60*2))
def get(self, request, format=None):
content = {
'title': 'Post title',
'body': 'Post content'
}
return Response(content)
```
**NOTE:** The [`cache_page`][page] decorator only caches the
`GET` and `HEAD` responses with status 200.
