Async Methods in Class-Based Views

Leverage async CBV methods for non-blocking I/O.


# models.py

from django.db import models

class AsyncThing(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=80)
  

# admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import AsyncThing

@admin.register(AsyncThing)
class AsyncThingAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ("name",)
  

# views.py
import httpx
from django.views import View
from django.http import JsonResponse

class AsyncStatus(View):
    async def get(self, request):
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            r = await client.get("https://httpbin.org/status/200")
        return JsonResponse({"ok": r.status_code == 200})
