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
other cache decorators such as [`cache_page`][page],
[`vary_on_cookie`][cookie] and [`vary_on_headers`][headers].
```python
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
from django.views.decorators.vary import vary_on_cookie, vary_on_headers
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework import viewsets
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
# With cookie: 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)
class ProfileView(APIView):
# With auth: cache requested url for each user for 2 hours
@method_decorator(cache_page(60 * 60 * 2))
@method_decorator(vary_on_headers("Authorization"))
def get(self, request, format=None):
content = {
"user_feed": request.user.get_user_feed(),
}
return Response(content)
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.
