How can you implement pagination in Django views?

Pagination in Django allows you to divide a large set of data into manageable pages. This improves the user experience by preventing information overload.

To implement pagination, follow these steps:

  1. Import Paginator and Page from django.core.paginator.
  2. Pass your queryset to the Paginator and specify the number of items per page.
  3. Get the current page number from the request and retrieve the corresponding page.

Here’s an example:

from django.core.paginator import Paginator

def my_view(request):
    object_list = MyModel.objects.all()
    paginator = Paginator(object_list, 10)  # Show 10 items per page
    page_number = request.GET.get('page')
    page_obj = paginator.get_page(page_number)
    return render(request, 'my_template.html', {'page_obj': page_obj})

In your template, you can iterate over page_obj to display items and add pagination controls.
