==========
Pagination
==========
.. module:: django.core.paginator
:synopsis: Classes to help you easily manage paginated data.
Django provides a few classes that help you manage paginated data -- that is,
data that's split across several pages, with "Previous/Next" links. These
classes live in :file:`django/core/paginator.py`.
Example
=======
Give :class:`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::
>>> from django.core.paginator import Paginator
>>> objects = ['john', 'paul', 'george', 'ringo']
>>> p = Paginator(objects, 2)
>>> p.count
4
>>> p.num_pages
2
>>> type(p.page_range)
<class 'range_iterator'>
>>> p.page_range
range(1, 3)
>>> page1 = p.page(1)
>>> page1
<Page 1 of 2>
>>> page1.object_list
['john', 'paul']
>>> page2 = p.page(2)
>>> page2.object_list
['george', 'ringo']
>>> page2.has_next()
False
>>> page2.has_previous()
True
>>> page2.has_other_pages()
True
>>> page2.next_page_number()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
EmptyPage: That page contains no results
>>> page2.previous_page_number()
1
>>> page2.start_index() # The 1-based index of the first item on this page
3
>>> page2.end_index() # The 1-based index of the last item on this page
4
>>> p.page(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
EmptyPage: That page number is less than 1
>>> p.page(3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
EmptyPage: That page contains no results
.. note::
Note that you can give ``Paginator`` a list/tuple, a Django ``QuerySet``,
or any other object with a ``count()`` 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 ``count()``
method when available.
.. _using-paginator-in-view:
Using ``Paginator`` in a view
=============================
Here's a slightly more complex example using :class:`Paginator` in a view to
paginate a queryset. We give both the view and the accompanying template to
show how you can display the results. This example assumes you have a
``Contacts`` model that has already been imported.
The view function looks like this::
from django.core.paginator import Paginator
from django.shortcuts import render
def listing(request):
contact_list = Contacts.objects.all()
paginator = Paginator(contact_list, 25) # Show 25 contacts per page
page = request.GET.get('page')
contacts = paginator.get_page(page)
return render(request, 'list.html', {'contacts': contacts})
In the template :file:`list.html`, you'll want to include navigation between
pages along with any interesting information from the objects themselves:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% for contact in contacts %}
{# Each "contact" is a Contact model object. #}
{{ contact.full_name|upper }}<br>
...
{% endfor %}
<div class="pagination">
<span class="step-links">
{% if contacts.has_previous %}
<a href="?page=1">&laquo; first</a>
<a href="?page={{ contacts.previous_page_number }}">previous</a>
{% endif %}
<span class="current">
Page {{ contacts.number }} of {{ contacts.paginator.num_pages }}.
</span>
{% if contacts.has_next %}
<a href="?page={{ contacts.next_page_number }}">next</a>
<a href="?page={{ contacts.paginator.num_pages }}">last &raquo;</a>
{% endif %}
</span>
</div>
``Paginator`` objects
=====================
The :class:`Paginator` class has this constructor:
.. class:: Paginator(object_list, per_page, orphans=0, allow_empty_first_page=True)
Required arguments
------------------
``object_list``
A list, tuple, ``QuerySet``, or other sliceable object with a ``count()``
or ``__len__()`` method. For consistent pagination, ``QuerySet``\s should
be ordered, e.g. with an :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.order_by`
clause or with a default :attr:`~django.db.models.Options.ordering` on the
model.
.. admonition:: Performance issues paginating large ``QuerySet``\s
If you're using a ``QuerySet`` with a very large number of items,
requesting high page numbers might be slow on some databases, because
the resulting ``LIMIT``/``OFFSET`` query needs to count the number of
``OFFSET`` records which takes longer as the page number gets higher.
``per_page``
The maximum number of items to include on a page, not including orphans
(see the ``orphans`` optional argument below).
Optional arguments
------------------
``orphans``
Use this when you don't want to have a last page with very few items.
If the last page would normally have a number of items less than or equal
to ``orphans``, then those items will be added to the previous page (which
becomes the last page) instead of leaving the items on a page by
themselves. For example, with 23 items, ``per_page=10``, and
``orphans=3``, there will be two pages; the first page with 10 items and
the second (and last) page with 13 items. ``orphans`` defaults to zero,
which means pages are never combined and the last page may have one item.
``allow_empty_first_page``
Whether or not the first page is allowed to be empty. If ``False`` and
``object_list`` is empty, then an ``EmptyPage`` error will be raised.
Methods
-------
.. method:: Paginator.get_page(number)
Returns a :class:`Page` object with the given 1-based index, while also
handling out of range and invalid page numbers.
If the page isn't a number, it returns the first page. If the page number
is negative or greater than the number of pages, it returns the last page.
It raises an exception (:exc:`EmptyPage`) only if you specify
``Paginator(..., allow_empty_first_page=False)`` and the ``object_list`` is
empty.
.. method:: Paginator.page(number)
Returns a :class:`Page` object with the given 1-based index. Raises
:exc:`InvalidPage` if the given page number doesn't exist.
Attributes
----------
.. attribute:: Paginator.count
The total number of objects, across all pages.
.. note::
When determining the number of objects contained in ``object_list``,
``Paginator`` will first try calling ``object_list.count()``. If
``object_list`` has no ``count()`` method, then ``Paginator`` will
fallback to using ``len(object_list)``. This allows objects, such as
Django's ``QuerySet``, to use a more efficient ``count()`` method when
available.
.. attribute:: Paginator.num_pages
The total number of pages.
.. attribute:: Paginator.page_range
A 1-based range iterator of page numbers, e.g. yielding ``[1, 2, 3, 4]``.
``InvalidPage`` exceptions
==========================
.. exception:: InvalidPage
A base class for exceptions raised when a paginator is passed an invalid
page number.
The :meth:`Paginator.page` method raises an exception if the requested page is
invalid (i.e., not an integer) or contains no objects. Generally, it's enough
to catch the ``InvalidPage`` exception, but if you'd like more granularity,
you can catch either of the following exceptions:
.. exception:: PageNotAnInteger
Raised when ``page()`` is given a value that isn't an integer.
.. exception:: EmptyPage
Raised when ``page()`` is given a valid value but no objects exist on that
page.
Both of the exceptions are subclasses of :exc:`InvalidPage`, so you can handle
them both with a simple ``except InvalidPage``.
``Page`` objects
================
You usually won't construct ``Page`` objects by hand -- you'll get them
using :meth:`Paginator.page`.
.. class:: Page(object_list, number, paginator)
A page acts like a sequence of :attr:`Page.object_list` when using
``len()`` or iterating it directly.
Methods
-------
.. method:: Page.has_next()
Returns ``True`` if there's a next page.
.. method:: Page.has_previous()
Returns ``True`` if there's a previous page.
.. method:: Page.has_other_pages()
Returns ``True`` if there's a next *or* previous page.
.. method:: Page.next_page_number()
Returns the next page number. Raises :exc:`InvalidPage` if next page
doesn't exist.
.. method:: Page.previous_page_number()
Returns the previous page number. Raises :exc:`InvalidPage` if previous
page doesn't exist.
.. method:: Page.start_index()
Returns the 1-based index of the first object on the page, relative to all
of the objects in the paginator's list. For example, when paginating a list
of 5 objects with 2 objects per page, the second page's
:meth:`~Page.start_index` would return ``3``.
.. method:: Page.end_index()
Returns the 1-based index of the last object on the page, relative to all
of the objects in the paginator's list. For example, when paginating a list
of 5 objects with 2 objects per page, the second page's
:meth:`~Page.end_index` would return ``4``.
Attributes
----------
.. attribute:: Page.object_list
The list of objects on this page.
.. attribute:: Page.number
The 1-based page number for this page.
.. attribute:: Page.paginator
The associated :class:`Paginator` object.
