3.4. Cache (optional)¶
The machado.urls are pre-configured to enable caching. You just need to enable Django’s cache framework following the official instructions.
Example
Include the following in the settings.py:
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache',
'LOCATION': 'machado_cache_table',
}
}
CACHE_TIMEOUT = 60 * 60 # 3600 seconds == 1 hour
Create the cache table:
python manage.py createcachetable
Clearing the cache table
It is a good idea to clear the cache table whenever you made changes to your machado installation. For this intent, install the django-clear-cache tool https://github.com/rdegges/django-clear-cache
pip install django-clear-cache
Then modify your settings.py file to add clear_cache:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ...
'clear_cache',
)
Then to clear the cache just run
python manage.py clear_cache
