Support for caching

[ekrekeler]

Documentation is sparse and I do not see a way to enable caching for clients generated with openapi-python-client.

Many APIs that leverage OpenAPI will also support content caching and send headers for TTL. When using the same openapi-python-client object to make the same calls, I notice it is making a new request and not serving from a cache. Does this client have support for caching at all? What would be the best way to enable caching with the Cache-Control and Expires headers from the responses?

There are no caching features in generated clients. I don't believe there are any caching features built into the OpenAPI spec either, so adding them is probably out of scope for this project.

Maybe it could be added as a client middleware once #202 happens. Until then, something would have to be done with custom templates I think.

Thanks for the answers. I am not certain how to use the templates, but since I am using the client in a Flask app I will just cache the objects in a database and use the response headers to define expiration. I do think caching would be a useful feature to have built-in however.
