<p>Any template or component can be cached using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache</span></code>
argument to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code> directives:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">page</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span><span class="cp">/></span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x">template text</span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>The above template, after being executed the first time, will
store its content within a cache that by default is scoped
within memory. Subsequent calls to the template’s <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a>
method will return content directly from the cache. When the
<a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> object itself falls out of scope, its corresponding
cache is garbage collected along with the template.</p>
<p>The caching system requires that a cache backend be installed; this
includes either the <a class="reference external" href="http://beaker.readthedocs.org/">Beaker</a> package
or the <a class="reference external" href="http://dogpilecache.readthedocs.org">dogpile.cache</a>, as well as
any other third-party caching libraries that feature Mako integration.</p>
<p>By default, caching will attempt to make use of Beaker.
To use dogpile.cache, the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_impl</span></code> argument must be set; see this argument in the
section <a class="reference internal" href="#cache-arguments"><span class="std std-ref">Cache Arguments</span></a>.</p>
<p>In addition to being available on the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code> tag, the caching flag and all
its options can be used with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code> tag as well:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">def</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">"mycomp"</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span> <span class="na">cache_timeout=</span><span class="s">"60"</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x"> other text</span>
<span class="cp"></%</span><span class="nb">def</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>… and equivalently with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code> tag, anonymous or named:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">block</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span> <span class="na">cache_timeout=</span><span class="s">"60"</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x"> other text</span>
<span class="cp"></%</span><span class="nb">block</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="cache-arguments">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>Cache Arguments<a class="headerlink" href="#cache-arguments" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Mako has two cache arguments available on tags that are
available in all cases. The rest of the arguments
available are specific to a backend.</p>
<p>The two generic tags arguments are:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cached="True"</span></code> - enable caching for this <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code>, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_key</span></code> - the “key” used to uniquely identify this content
in the cache. Usually, this key is chosen automatically
based on the name of the rendering callable (i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">body</span></code>
when used in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code>, the name of the def when using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code>,
the explicit or internally-generated name when using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code>).
Using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_key</span></code> parameter, the key can be overridden
using a fixed or programmatically generated value.</p>
<p>For example, here’s a page
that caches any page which inherits from it, based on the
filename of the calling template:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">page</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span> <span class="na">cache_key=</span><span class="s">"${self.filename}"</span><span class="cp">/></span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="cp">${</span><span class="nb">next</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">body</span><span class="p">()</span><span class="cp">}</span>
<span class="cp">## rest of template</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>On a <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>, the
caching can be configured using these arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_enabled</span></code> - Setting this
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code> will disable all caching functionality
when the template renders. Defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>.
e.g.:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">lookup</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">TemplateLookup</span><span class="p">(</span>

<span class="n">cache_enabled</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">False</span>
<span class="p">)</span></pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_impl</span></code> - The string name of the cache backend
to use. This defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'beaker'</span></code>, indicating
that the ‘beaker’ backend will be used.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code> - A dictionary of cache parameters that
will be consumed by the cache backend. See
<a class="reference internal" href="#beaker-backend"><span class="std std-ref">Using the Beaker Cache Backend</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#dogpile-cache-backend"><span class="std std-ref">Using the dogpile.cache Backend</span></a> for examples.</p></li>

<span id="beaker-backend"></span><h3>Using the Beaker Cache Backend<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-beaker-cache-backend" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>When using Beaker, new implementations will want to make usage
of <strong>cache regions</strong> so that cache configurations can be maintained
externally to templates. These configurations live under
named “regions” that can be referred to within templates themselves.</p>
<div class="versionadded">
<p><span class="versionmodified added">New in version 0.6.0: </span>Support for Beaker cache regions.</p>
</div>
<p>For example, suppose we would like two regions. One is a “short term”
region that will store content in a memory-based dictionary,
expiring after 60 seconds. The other is a Memcached region,
where values should expire in five minutes. To configure
our <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>, first we get a handle to a
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">beaker.cache.CacheManager</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">beaker.cache</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">CacheManager</span>

<span class="p">)</span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>Our templates can then opt to cache data in one of either region,
using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_region</span></code> argument. Such as using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">short_term</span></code>
at the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code> level:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">page</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span> <span class="na">cache_region=</span><span class="s">"short_term"</span><span class="cp">></span>
<span class="cp">## ...</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">long_term</span></code> at the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code> level:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp"><%</span><span class="nb">block</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">"header"</span> <span class="na">cached=</span><span class="s">"True"</span> <span class="na">cache_region=</span><span class="s">"long_term"</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x"> other text</span>
<span class="cp"></%</span><span class="nb">block</span><span class="cp">></span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>The Beaker backend also works without regions. There are a
variety of arguments that can be passed to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code>
dictionary, which are also allowable in templates via the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code>,
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code> tags specific to those sections. The values
given override those specified at the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>
or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> level.</p>
<p>With the possible exception
of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_timeout</span></code>, these arguments are probably better off
staying at the template configuration level. Each argument
specified as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_XYZ</span></code> in a template tag is specified
without the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_</span></code> prefix in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code> dictionary:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_timeout</span></code> - number of seconds in which to invalidate the
cached data. After this timeout, the content is re-generated
on the next call. Available as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeout</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code>
dictionary.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_type</span></code> - type of caching. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'memory'</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'file'</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'dbm'</span></code>, or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'ext:memcached'</span></code> (note that the string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">memcached</span></code> is
also accepted by the dogpile.cache Mako plugin, though not by Beaker itself).
Available as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">type</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code> dictionary.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_url</span></code> - (only used for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">memcached</span></code> but required) a single
IP address or a semi-colon separated list of IP address of
memcache servers to use. Available as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">url</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code>
dictionary.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_dir</span></code> - in the case of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'file'</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'dbm'</span></code> cache types,
this is the filesystem directory with which to store data
files. If this option is not present, the value of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">module_directory</span></code> is used (i.e. the directory where compiled
template modules are stored). If neither option is available
an exception is thrown. Available as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dir</span></code> in the

<p>The mechanism used by caching can be plugged in
using a <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl</span></code></a> subclass. This class implements
the rudimental methods Mako needs to implement the caching

is acquired by Mako using a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pkg_resources</span></code> entrypoint, using
the name given as the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_impl</span></code> argument to <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a>
or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>. This entry point can be
installed via the standard <cite>setuptools</cite>/<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setup()</span></code> procedure, underneath
the <cite>EntryPoint</cite> group named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"mako.cache"</span></code>. It can also be

<li><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl</span></code></a> is created on a per-<a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> basis. The

persisted or returned by the cache methods. The actual <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a>
is available via the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self.cache.template</span></code> attribute. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self.cache.id</span></code>
attribute, which is essentially the unique modulename of the template, is
a good value to use in order to represent a unique namespace of keys specific
to the template.</p></li>
<li><p>Templates only use the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl.get_or_create()</span></code></a> method

only used in response to direct programmatic access to the corresponding
methods on the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.Cache" title="mako.cache.Cache"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Cache</span></code></a> object.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl</span></code></a> will be accessed in a multithreaded fashion if the
<a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> itself is used multithreaded. Care should be taken
to ensure caching implementations are threadsafe.</p></li>
<li><p>A library like <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dogpile.core">Dogpile</a>, which
is a minimal locking system derived from Beaker, can be used to help
implement the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl.get_or_create()</span></code></a> method in a threadsafe
way that can maximize effectiveness across multiple threads as well
as processes. <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create" title="mako.cache.CacheImpl.get_or_create"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CacheImpl.get_or_create()</span></code></a> is the
key method used by templates.</p></li>
<li><p>All arguments passed to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">**kw</span></code> come directly from the parameters
inside the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%def></span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%block></span></code>, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><%page></span></code> tags directly,
minus the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">"cache_"</span></code> prefix, as strings, with the exception of
the argument <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_timeout</span></code>, which is passed to the plugin
as the name <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">timeout</span></code> with the value converted to an integer.
Arguments present in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cache_args</span></code> on <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> or
<a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a> are passed directly, but are superseded
by those present in the most specific template tag.</p></li>
<li><p>The directory where <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> places module files can
be acquired using the accessor <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self.cache.template.module_directory</span></code>.
This directory can be a good place to throw cache-related work
files, underneath a prefix like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_my_cache_work</span></code> so that name
conflicts with generated modules don’t occur.</p></li>
