Hi, We have a common navigation bar on nearly every page (view) that contains a dropdown - this dropdown is populated with items from a database table. This dropdown also has AJAX behaviour attached to it.
I'm thinking I can create a decorator that will retrieve the list from the database, and return a Python list We can then wrap every single view in this decorator, and then pass the list to the template for rendering. Firstly - is there a more elegant alternative, rather than wrapping every single view in this decorator? (Middleware? Or is that a poor fit here? Anything else?). And secondly - are there are any performance issues here? We're making database calls with every single view, just to get a list for a navigation dropdown. Smarter way? I know I can use the caching middleware to cache entire pages, or even template fragments - but how about caching a single list() like this? What are other methods people are using to tackle this?
