Steps to configure the method to use Redis in Django

Install Redis

First, you need to install Redis locally. You can download the installation package on the Redis official website, or you can install it through the package manager. If it is a Windows system, you can download Redis provided by Microsoft from the Microsoft Store. After the installation is completed, Redis will run on local port 6379 by default. You can test whether Redis is running normally by running the redis-cli command.

Install the Django Redis package

Next, you need to install the Django Redis package, which allows Django to interact with Redis. You can install the Django Redis package on the command line through the pip command, and the command is as follows:

pip install django-redis

Configuration File

Add the following configuration to the file of the Django application:

CACHES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_redis.",
        "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/",
        "OPTIONS": {
            "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.",
            "PASSWORD": "",
            "SOCKET_TIMEOUT": 3,
            "SOCKET_CONNECT_TIMEOUT": 3,
            "CONNECTION_POOL_KWARGS": {"max_connections": 100},
        },
        "KEY_PREFIX": "example",
    }
}

In the above configuration, LOCATION specifies the IP and port number of Redis running, and KEY_PREFIX specifies the prefix name of the cache to avoid conflicts with other applications' caches.

Writing view functions

Next, you can write view functions in your Django application to implement the function of interacting with Redis. The specific code is as follows:

from  import render
from  import HttpResponse
from  import cache
def index(request):
    ('my_key', 'Hello, Redis!')
    my_key = ('my_key')
    return HttpResponse(my_key)

In the above code, the method stores a key-value pair into the Redis cache, and the method obtains the value of the specified key from the cache.

Run the application

Finally, you can start the Django application and access the corresponding URL in the browser to verify that the interaction with Redis is normal. If Redis is running properly and the application configuration and code are correct, you can see that the output is Hello, Redis!.
