Group Cache¶
The idea behind group caching is to have a set of pages that you group under a certain name allowing you to expire the whole set instead of having to look for the individual cache entries.
View Cache¶
To cache a page in a group you just use the cache_page_in_group decorator:
#views.py
from cache_tools.tools import cache_page_in_group
@cache_page_in_group('profiles')
def show(req, slug):
# ...
When you need to expire that group you use the expire_cache_group method:
from cache_tools.tools import expire_cache_group
# ...
expire_cache_group('profiles')
Fragment Cache¶
You can also use group caching to cache fragments using the “get_group_key” template tag.
# cacheable.html
{% get_group_key group_name as group_key %}
{% cache 600 page_title group_key %}
<!-- Long running code -->
{% endcache %}
