How do I set up caching in Django using the Django Cache Framework?

To set up caching in Django, first, you need to install the Django Cache Framework. You can do this by adding 'django.core.cache' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

What types of caching does Django support?

Django supports several caching backends, including in-memory caching, file-based caching, database caching, and caching with Redis or Memcached.

How do I configure Redis as a cache backend?

To configure Redis, install the django-redis package, then update your CACHES setting in settings.py to use Redis as the backend.

Can you show me an example of the CACHES setting?

Sure! Here's an example:

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