# flask-api-cache
**A package for caching flask api with custom key.**
## Description:
A decorator for python flask api.
You can set cache in your **memory** or with **redis instance**,<br>
the key will be generated by the following rule:<br>
`{REQUEST_FULL_PATH}:{PARAMETER_STRING}`<br>
or you can use your custom key function by key_func args,<br>
the value will be your function return value.<br>
## How To Use:
### Import
```python
from flask_api_cache import ApiCache
```
### Parameters
|name|required|description|
|----|--------|-----------|
|redis|no|if you want to caching data in redis, you can call ApiCache with a redis instance.|
|expired_time|no|set your expired time with **seconds**, the default value is 24 * 60 * 60 seconds (1 day)|
|key_func|no|the function which you want to make custom key|
### Cache Without Redis
```python
@app.route('/example_1/<string:name>')
@ApiCache(expired_time=10)
def example_1(name):
"""
caching data in memory with default key.
- http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_1/jimmy
:param name:
:return:
"""
return jsonify(f'Hi {name}, it is {datetime.now()}')
```
If you request for **http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_1/jimmy**,<br>
it will set a 10 seconds cache by key: `example_1:/example_1/Jimmy?`,<br>
with value: `Hi jimmy, it is 2020-10-23 16:06:27.996358.`,
in your memory, it will be cleared after api service restart.
### Cache With Redis
```python
@app.route('/example_3/<string:items>')
@ApiCache(redis=redis_instance, expired_time=10)
def example_3(items):
"""
caching data in redis instance with default key.
- http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_3/coffee
:param items:
:return:
"""
return jsonify(f'You bought {items} at {datetime.now()}')
```
If you request for **http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_3/coffee**,<br>
it will set a 10 seconds cache by key: `example_3:/example_3/coffee?`,<br>
with value: `You bought coffee at 2020-10-23 16:06:59.904216`,
in your redis instance.
### Cache With Custom Function
```python
def custom_func_2(**kwargs):
items = kwargs.get('items')
price = kwargs.get('price')
keys = f'{items}:{price}'
return keys
@app.route('/example_4/<string:items>/<int:price>')
@ApiCache(redis=redis_instance, key_func=custom_func_2, expired_time=10)
def example_4(items, price):
"""
caching data in redis instance with custom function.
- http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_4/coffee/20
:param items:
:param price:
:return:
"""
return jsonify(f'You bought {items} at {datetime.now()}, it cost ${price}')
```
If you request for **http://0.0.0.0:5000/example_4/coffee/20** ,<br>
it will set a 10 seconds cache by key: `coffee:20`,<br>
with value: `You bought coffee at 2020-10-23 16:07:59.818357, it cost $20`,
in your memory, it will be cleared after service restart.
