Django Request Cache provides a cache for each request (within your Django Request/Response cycle).

Quick start

-----------

1. Download and install using `pip install`

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install django-request-cache

2. Add ``UserForeignKeyMiddleware`` and ``RequestCacheMiddleware`` to your ``MIDDLEWARE`` settings like this:

.. code-block:: python

    MIDDLEWARE = (

        ...

        'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

        ...

        'django_userforeignkey.middleware.UserForeignKeyMiddleware',

        'django_request_cache.middleware.RequestCacheMiddleware',

    )

or if you are still using the an older Django version (e.g., Django 1.8) with ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES``:

.. code-block:: python

    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

        ...

        'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

        ...

        'django_userforeignkey.middleware.UserForeignKeyMiddleware',

        'django_request_cache.middleware.RequestCacheMiddleware',

    )

3. Use the per-request cache as a decorator

.. code-block:: python

    from django_request_cache import cache_for_request

    @cache_for_request

    def do_some_complex_calculation(a, b, c):

        print("Calculating... please wait")

        return a * b * c

Try it out by executing do_some_complex_calculation multiple times within your request
