Django integration 2: How to persist Atom object between user request

[youpsla]

Hello !!! I'm trying to integrate Enaml-web and Django using the CACHE system used ind dataframe example here:https://github.com/codelv/enaml-web/blob/37752a0221d1b9734d063daedbf39a3d9b9f51e3/examples/dataframe_viewer/app.py#L48

I don't achieve to persist this object between users interactions, in other works, after the answer has been sent back to the user browser.

Any idea to achieve that ?

Here is my simple view:

from django.http import HttpResponse

from web.core.app import WebApplication
import enaml

with enaml.imports():
    from .index import Index
enaml_web_app = WebApplication()

def testview(request):
    # I would like to cache index to be able to retrieve it later.
    index = Index()
    return HttpResponse(index.render())

The solution I found as of now is to setup another server. Then, one Django server and one "Enaml-redering-and-cache-server". When Django receive a request, he send a request to the "Enamll" server and get the HTML (Partial or full page).

Have you tried using django's cache framework to save the page?

Or more simply some global variable outside the request handler? Something like this:

CACHE = {}

def testview(request):
    cache_key = "index"
    data = CACHE.get(cache_key)
    if data is None:
        # page is not in cache, render it and save it in the cache
        print("Creating cache")
        index = Index()
        data = (index, index.render())
        CACHE[cache_key] = data 
    else:
        print("Using cache")
    index, page = data
    return HttpResponse(page)

A similar approach will work with the dataframe viewer example.

I close this ticket because I solved the issue a long time ago and forgot it. Thanks again for help.
