Pagination

Under the hood, all methods of pagination use the Paginator class. It does all the heavy lifting of actually splitting a QuerySet into objects.

Give Paginator a list of objects, plus the number of items you’d like to have on each page, and it gives you methods for accessing the items for each page:

Note that you can give Paginator a list/tuple, a Django QuerySet, or any other object with a or __len__() method. When determining the number of objects contained in the passed object, Paginator will first try calling count(), then fallback to using len() if the passed object has no count() method. This allows objects such as Django’s QuerySet to use a more efficient method when available.

provides a builtin way to paginate the displayed list. You can do this by adding a paginate_by attribute to your view class, for example:

Here’s an example using in a view function to paginate a queryset:

In the template list.html, you can include navigation between pages in the same way as in the template for the above.
