How to Add Pagination in Django Python

In this tutorial we will discuss How to Add Pagination in Django Python Web application.

What is Pagination – Pagination is the process of distributing a website’s content across multiple pages.

Django has a built in Paginator class.

How to Use – First we need to import it “Paginator class” from django.core.paginator.

models.py

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class MenuList(models.Model):
    Menucode= models.IntegerField()
    MenuType=models.IntegerField()
    menuname = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    submenuname = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    menulink = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.menuname
    
    objects = models.Manager()

urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from .views import Menu_list

urlpatterns = [
    path("",Menu_list,name="Employee"),    
]

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import MenuList
from django.core.paginator import Paginator,PageNotAnInteger,EmptyPage

# Create your views here.

def Menu_list(request):

    Result_set = MenuList.objects.all()
        
    page_list = request.GET.get('page',1)
    pages = Paginator(Result_set,5)

    try:
        result_page = pages.page(page_list)

    except PageNotAnInteger:
        result_page = pages.page(1)

    except EmptyPage:
        result_page = pages.page(pages.num_pages)

    return render(request,'menulist.html',{'menulist':result_page})
