Raw operations

Access the underlying valkey client

if for whatever reason you need to do things that the clients don't support, you can access the underlying valkey connections and send commands by hand to get a connection, you can do:

from django_valkey.async_cache import get_valkey_connection

raw_client = await get_valkey_connection("default")

in this example "default" is the alias name of the backend, that you configured in django's CACHES setting the signature of the function is as follows:

async def get_valkey_connection(alias: str="default", write: bool=True): ...

alias is the name you gave each server in django's CACHES setting. write is used to determine if the operation will write to the cache database, so it should be True for set and False for get.
