How to call asynchronous function in Django?

Question

The following doesn't execute foo and gives RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'foo' was never awaited

# urls.py

async def foo(data):
    # process data ...

@api_view(['POST'])
def endpoint(request):
    data = request.data.get('data')
    
    # How to call foo here?
    foo(data)

    return Response({})

Found a way to do it.

Create another file bar.py in the same directory as urls.py.

# bar.py

def foo(data):
    // process data

# urls.py

from multiprocessing import Process
from .bar import foo

@api_view(['POST'])
def endpoint(request):
    data = request.data.get('data')

    p = Process(target=foo, args=(data,))
    p.start()

    return Response({})
