How can I use Django with Redis for caching?

You can use the Django Cache Framework with Redis as a backend. First, install the django-redis package.

What are the steps to set it up?

1. Install django-redis using pip. 2. Update your Django settings to configure the cache. 3. Use the cache in your views.

Can you show me an example of the settings configuration?

Sure! In your settings.py, add:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}
