Documentation

Auth

superuser_required_or_403()

from django_epflmisc.decorators import superuser_required_or_403

@superuser_required_or_403()
def my_view(request):
    # I can assume now that the view is only accessible as a superuser.

Cache

The cache system requires a small amount of setup. Namely, you have to tell it where your cached data should live – whether in a database, on the filesystem or directly in memory.

See Django's cache framework

cache_anonymous_user(timeout, cache="default")

from django_epflmisc.decorators import cache_anonymous_user

@cache_anonymous_user(60 * 15)
def my_view(request):
    # I can assume now that the view is cached for anonymous users.
