I was trying to use the locmem cache for my web application but couldn't find any documentation on how to see the contents of the cache. I mean I want to check if my keys are being set correctly in the cache. How can I list all the keys in this cache or is that even possible?
I found the question Get list of Cache Keys in Django but it's about memcache, not the locmem cache.
The thing about locmem is that it really is just a local memory storage. Looking at the code, it's clear that the data is just being saved in a module-level variable, _caches, in that module. So you can just do
from django.core.cache.backends import locmem
print(locmem._caches)
