How can you use the @cache_page decorator with Django class based views?

[daniels]

The only method that seems to be working is adding the decorator in urls.py which is ugly.

Is there any way to apply this decorator in the view?

class HomeView(View):
    @method_decorator(cache_page(60 * 60))
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(HomeView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)

I've tried the above but it doesn't seem to be working. I've also tried adding it to the get method (which is what I want to cache).

I'm using FileBasedCache and only when I use cache_page decorator in urls.py I see files being created in my cache folder. With the method above nothing happens.

Hi Daniels,

There's a tentative API being worked on Github. You might want to have a look at it.
