This Django app provides a suite of utilities to disable caching in template views.

Prerequisites

Python >= 3.9
Django >= 3.2

Installation

Install the package via pip:
```
pip install django-never-cache
```

Add django_never_cache to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_never_cache",
    ...
]

Usage

NoCacheMixin

Use NoCacheMixin to disable caching for a view:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from django_never_cache.mixins import NoCacheMixin

class MyView(NoCacheMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = "my_template.html"

PrivateAreaMixin

Use PrivateAreaMixin to require login and disable caching for a private area:

from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from django_never_cache.mixins import PrivateAreaMixin

class MyView(PrivateAreaMixin, TemplateView):
    template_name = "my_private_template.html"

NoCacheMiddleware

Use NoCacheMiddleware if you want to disable caching for the whole site:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    "django_never_cache.middleware.NeverCacheMiddleware",
]

If you have setted NeverCacheMiddleware in MIDDLEWARE you can exclude caching for a view using allow_cache decorator.

from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from django_never_cache.decorators import allow_cache

@method_decorator(allow_cache, name="dispatch")
class MyCachedView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "my_cached_template.html"
