This allows you to modify how large result sets are split into individual pages of data. -## Paginating basic data +The pagination API can support either: -Let's start by taking a look at an example from the Django documentation. +* Pagination links that are provided as part of the content of the response. +* Pagination links that are included in response headers, such as `Content-Range` or `Link`. - from django.core.paginator import Paginator +The built-in styles currently all use links included as part of the content of the response. This style is more accessible when using the browsable API. - objects = ['john', 'paul', 'george', 'ringo'] - paginator = Paginator(objects, 2) - page = paginator.page(1) - page.object_list - # ['john', 'paul'] +Pagination is only performed automatically if you're using the generic views or viewsets. If you're using a regular `APIView`, you'll need to call into the pagination API yourself to ensure you return a paginated response. See the source code for the `mixins.ListMixin` and `generics.GenericAPIView` classes for an example. -At this point we've got a page object. If we wanted to return this page object as a JSON response, we'd need to provide the client with context such as next and previous links, so that it would be able to page through the remaining results. +## Setting the pagination style - from rest_framework.pagination import PaginationSerializer +The default pagination style may be set globally, using the `DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS` settings key. For example, to use the built-in limit/offset pagination, you would do: - serializer = PaginationSerializer(instance=page) - serializer.data - # {'count': 4, 'next': '?page=2', 'previous': None, 'results': [u'john', u'paul']} - -The `context` argument of the `PaginationSerializer` class may optionally include the request. If the request is included in the context then the next and previous links returned by the serializer will use absolute URLs instead of relative URLs. - - request = RequestFactory().get('/foobar') - serializer = PaginationSerializer(instance=page, context={'request': request}) - serializer.data - # {'count': 4, 'next': 'http://testserver/foobar?page=2', 'previous': None, 'results': [u'john', u'paul']} - -We could now return that data in a `Response` object, and it would be rendered into the correct media type. - -## Paginating QuerySets - -Our first example worked because we were using primitive objects. If we wanted to paginate a queryset or other complex data, we'd need to specify a serializer to use to serialize the result set itself. - -We can do this using the `object_serializer_class` attribute on the inner `Meta` class of the pagination serializer. For example. - - class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): - """ - Serializes user querysets. - """ - class Meta: - model = User - fields = ('username', 'email') + REST_FRAMEWORK = { + 'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.LimitOffsetPagination' + } - class PaginatedUserSerializer(pagination.PaginationSerializer): - """ - Serializes page objects of user querysets. - """ - class Meta: - object_serializer_class = UserSerializer +You can also set the pagination class on an individual view by using the `pagination_class` attribute.
