my view.py
class Formtestview(FormView):
template_name = 'test.html'
form_valid(self, form):
'my code to search' => 'result is object_list'
page = self.request.GET.get('page','1')
paginate = Paginator(object_list, 10)
page_obj = paginator.get_page(page)
return render(self.request, 'test.html', {'form':self.form_class, 'object_list':object_list, 'page_obj' = page_obj})
As in the code above, input is received through form_valid, paged, and then sprayed on the same html template.
Results and paging are also displayed normally, but if you go to another page like ?page=2, only the basic template without all the results is shown.
Is there a way to paginate the form and search results in one template?
Why did you use FormView? Pagination comes with MultipleObjectMixin. For simplicity, you can use ListView rather than FormView. ListView is inherited from MultipleObjectMixin.
This example is from docs:
from django.views.generic import ListView
from myapp.models import Contact
class ContactListView(ListView):
paginate_by = 2
model = Contact
