fastapi-cache
Introduction
fastapi-cache
is a tool to cache fastapi response and function result, with backends support redis
, memcache
, and dynamodb
.
Features
- Support
redis
,memcache
,dynamodb
, andin-memory
backends. - Easily integration with
fastapi
. - Support http cache like
ETag
andCache-Control
.
Requirements
asyncio
environment.redis
if useRedisBackend
.memcache
if useMemcacheBackend
.aiobotocore
if useDynamoBackend
.
Install
> pip install fastapi-cache2
or
> pip install "fastapi-cache2[redis]"
or
> pip install "fastapi-cache2[memcache]"
or
> pip install "fastapi-cache2[dynamodb]"
Usage
Quick Start
import aioredis
from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.requests import Request
from starlette.responses import Response
from fastapi_cache import FastAPICache
from fastapi_cache.backends.redis import RedisBackend
from fastapi_cache.decorator import cache
app = FastAPI()
@cache()
async def get_cache():
return 1
@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
return dict(hello="world")
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
redis = aioredis.from_url("redis://localhost", encoding="utf8", decode_responses=True)
FastAPICache.init(RedisBackend(redis), prefix="fastapi-cache")
Initialization
Firstly you must call FastAPICache.init
on startup event of fastapi
, there are some global config you can pass in.
cache
decorator
Use If you want cache fastapi
response transparently, you can use cache
as decorator between router decorator and view function and must pass request
as param of view function.
Parameter | type, description |
---|---|
expire | int, states a caching time in seconds |
namespace | str, namespace to use to store certain cache items |
coder | which coder to use, e.g. JsonCoder |
key_builder | which key builder to use, default to builtin |
And if you want use ETag
and Cache-Control
features, you must pass response
param also.
You can also use cache
as decorator like other cache tools to cache common function result.
Custom coder
By default use JsonCoder
, you can write custom coder to encode and decode cache result, just need inherit fastapi_cache.coder.Coder
.
@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60,coder=JsonCoder)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
return dict(hello="world")
Custom key builder
By default use builtin key builder, if you need, you can override this and pass in cache
or FastAPICache.init
to take effect globally.
def my_key_builder(
func,
namespace: Optional[str] = "",
request: Request = None,
response: Response = None,
*args,
**kwargs,
):
prefix = FastAPICache.get_prefix()
cache_key = f"{prefix}:{namespace}:{func.__module__}:{func.__name__}:{args}:{kwargs}"
return cache_key
@app.get("/")
@cache(expire=60,coder=JsonCoder,key_builder=my_key_builder)
async def index(request: Request, response: Response):
return dict(hello="world")
InMemoryBackend
InMemoryBackend
store cache data in memory and use lazy delete, which mean if you don't access it after cached, it will not delete automatically.
