""" Example of caching using aiocache package. To run it you will need a Redis instance running in localhost:6379. You can also try with SimpleMemoryCache. Running this example you will see that the first call lasts 3 seconds and the rest are instant because the value is retrieved from the Redis. If you want more info about the package check https://github.com/argaen/aiocache """ import asyncio import aiocache from sanic import Sanic from sanic.response import json from sanic.log import log from aiocache import cached from aiocache.serializers import JsonSerializer app = Sanic(__name__) @app.listener('before_server_start') def init_cache(sanic, loop): aiocache.settings.set_defaults( class_="aiocache.RedisCache", # class_="aiocache.SimpleMemoryCache", loop=loop ) @cached(key="my_custom_key", serializer=JsonSerializer()) async def expensive_call(): log.info("Expensive has been called") await asyncio.sleep(3) return {"test": True} @app.route("/") async def test(request): log.info("Received GET /") return json(await expensive_call()) app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
