check if a specific cache exists with a custom cache key and extra

[fcoppey]

I would like to implement two different ways of loading my data if it was already cached or not.
if it's not cached I will load it by Ajax at page load, and then once it cached I would like to load it directly from the view context. how can I test if such cache exist with this caching settings:

@cached_as(obj, extra=['sample_detail_plot', user])

There is no public API for this. You may follow the same calculations as @cached_as() does though.

Basically all the code here, cache_key is the key in redis. That is quite complicated though.

hmmm… I think I’ll give up lol. Thanks for your help...

@cached from simple cache has a special .key(), which allows to see and do things like that. Maybe I should add it to @cached_as() in some form. Not sure yet.

That would be great… Thanks for the amazing work by the way. I just love it! Makes my work so much easier and the website so fast… (dealing with heavy spectral datasets)
