The caches module allows to setup cache configurations and then use them either using an alias or retrieving the config explicitly. To set the config, call caches.set_config:
aiocache.caches.set_config
To retrieve a copy of the current config, you can use caches.get_config or caches.get_alias_config for an alias config.
Next snippet shows an example usage:
../examples/cached_alias_config.py
When you do caches.get('alias_name'), the cache instance is built lazily the first time. Next accesses will return the same instance. If instead of reusing the same instance, you need a new one every time, use caches.create('alias_name'). One of the advantages of caches.create is that it accepts extra args that then are passed to the cache constructor. This way you can override args like namespace, endpoint, etc.
