What are some examples of using Redis with Django?

You can use Redis with Django for caching, session storage, and real-time data processing. Would you like specific code examples?

Yes, please provide a code example for caching.

Sure! Here's a simple example of caching a view in Django using Redis:

from django.core.cache import cache
from django.shortcuts import render

def my_view(request):
    data = cache.get('my_data')
    if not data:
        data = expensive_query()  # Replace with your query
        cache.set('my_data', data, timeout=60*15)  # Cache for 15 minutes
    return render(request, 'my_template.html', {'data': data})

How do I set up Redis as the cache backend in Django?

To set up Redis as the cache backend, add the following to your Django settings:

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