Paginator

=========

|
|
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 :source:`django/core/paginator.py`.
|
|
|
|
For examples, see the :doc:`Pagination topic guide </topics/pagination>`.
|
|
|
|
.. module:: django.core.paginator
|
|
:synopsis: Classes to help you easily manage paginated data.

|
``Paginator`` class
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Paginator(object_list, per_page, orphans=0, allow_empty_first_page=True)
|
|
|
|
A paginator acts like a sequence of :class:`Page` when using ``len()`` or
|
|
iterating it directly.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Paginator.object_list
|
|
|
|
Required. 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.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Paginator.per_page
|
|
|
|
Required. The maximum number of items to include on a page, not including
|
|
orphans (see the :attr:`~Paginator.orphans` optional argument below).
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Paginator.orphans
|
|
|
|
Optional. 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.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Paginator.allow_empty_first_page
|
|
|
|
Optional. 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.
|
|
|
|
Raises an :exc:`EmptyPage` exception 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:`PageNotAnInteger` if the ``number`` cannot be converted to an integer
|
|
by calling ``int()``. Raises :exc:`EmptyPage` if the given page number
|
|
doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Paginator.get_elided_page_range(number, *, on_each_side=3, on_ends=2)
|
|
|
|
Returns a 1-based list of page numbers similar to
|
|
:attr:`Paginator.page_range`, but may add an ellipsis to either or both
|
|
sides of the current page number when :attr:`Paginator.num_pages` is large.
|
|
|
|
The number of pages to include on each side of the current page number is
|
|
determined by the ``on_each_side`` argument which defaults to 3.
|
|
|
|
The number of pages to include at the beginning and end of page range is
|
|
determined by the ``on_ends`` argument which defaults to 2.
|
|
|
|
For example, with the default values for ``on_each_side`` and ``on_ends``,
|
|
if the current page is 10 and there are 50 pages, the page range will be
|
|
``[1, 2, '…', 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, '…', 49, 50]``. This will result in
|
|
pages 7, 8, and 9 to the left of and 11, 12, and 13 to the right of the
|
|
current page as well as pages 1 and 2 at the start and 49 and 50 at the
|
|
end.
|
|
|
|
Raises :exc:`InvalidPage` if the given page number doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
Attributes
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: Paginator.ELLIPSIS
|
|
|
|
A translatable string used as a substitute for elided page numbers in the
|
|
page range returned by :meth:`~Paginator.get_elided_page_range`. Default is
|
|
``'…'``.
|
|
|
|
.. 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
|
|
fall back to using ``len(object_list)``. This allows objects, such as
|
|
``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]``.
|
|
|
|
``Page`` class
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
You usually won't construct ``Page`` objects by hand -- you'll get them by
|
|
iterating :class:`Paginator`, or by 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.
|
|
|
|
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 :meth:`~Paginator.page` is given a value that isn't an integer.
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: EmptyPage
|
|
|
|
Raised when :meth:`~Paginator.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 ``except InvalidPage``.
