Django Pagination with Ajax and jQuery

In this article, you will learn how to create simple pagination in Django with Ajax and jQuery. Sometimes we need to display data on web page from the server. The data can be long lists. If you will listed all the data on the same page, that will become more confusing and also have high page loading time. Pagination is the process of separating a long list of contents into discrete pages.

As we're going to develop pagination using Django, If you had not installed the Django package, please follow the Django documentation for initial setup.

AJAX pagination processes the AJAX requests on each link and the client-side code that actually send the requests. In this article, we are using jQuery for making AJAX requests.



Here, we are creating an empty project 'blog' and a new app 'latestnews' -

(env) c:\python37\Scripts\projects>django-admin startproject blog

(env) c:\python37\Scripts\projects>cd blog

(env) c:\python37\Scripts\projects\blog>django-admin startapp latestnews


settings.py

After creating the app, we need to tell Django we're going to use this. Do this by editing your settings file and changing the INSTALLED_APPS setting to add the name of the module -

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'latestnews',
]

It is also required to edit the database settings in 'settings.py' -

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'demo',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306'
    }
}




models.py

Here is the model for 'Latestnews' that contains fields title and content -

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class Latestnews(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    content= models.CharField(max_length=500)

    class Meta:
        db_table = "latestnews"


views.py

Form data sent back to a Django website is processed with a view and to handle the form we need to instantiate it in the view for the URL where we want it to be published. In the 'views.py', we have imported JsonResponse, Paginator and Latestnews model. The paginator classes lives in django.core.paginator.

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.core.paginator import Paginator
from .models import Latestnews

def display_latestnews(request):
    
    newsdata = Latestnews.objects.all()
    # articles per page
    per_page = 4
    # Paginator in a view function to paginate a queryset
    # show 4 news per page
    obj_paginator = Paginator(newsdata, per_page)
    # list of objects on first page
    first_page = obj_paginator.page(1).object_list
    # range iterator of page numbers
    page_range = obj_paginator.page_range

    context = {
    'obj_paginator':obj_paginator,
    'first_page':first_page,
    'page_range':page_range
    }
    #
    if request.method == 'POST':
        #getting page number
        page_no = request.POST.get('page_no', None) 
        results = list(obj_paginator.page(page_no).object_list.values('id', 'title','content'))
        return JsonResponse({"results":results})

    return render(request, 'index.html',context)




Create Template Files

This HTML file includes jQuery library and Bootstrap files. We have placed the jQuery coding part at the bottom of the page. When the user click on pagination link, the jQuery makes the Ajax requests which display the next page content.

To protect against Cross Site Request Forgeries, we have added the {% csrf_token %} tag to the ajax requests. It adds a hidden input field containing a token that gets sent with each POST request.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Pagination in Django</title>
		<style>
		
		.pagination { display: inline-block;}
		.pagination a { color: black; float: left; padding: 8px 16px; text-decoration: none;}
		.pagination a.active { background-color: #4CAF50; color: white;}
		.pagination a:hover:not(.active) {background-color: #ddd;}
		</style>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" crossorigin="anonymous">
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
		<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
	<div class="container">
		
		<div id="articles">
			{% for i in first_page %}
			<h2>{{i.title}}</h2>
			<p>{{i.content}}</p>
			{% endfor %}	
		</div>
		
		<div class="pagination">
		{% for i in page_range %}
		<a style="margin-left: 5px; " href="{{i}}">{{i}}</a>
		{% endfor %}
		</div>
	</div>
	<script>
	$('a').click(function(event){
		// preventing default actions
		event.preventDefault();
		var page_no = $(this).attr('href');
		// ajax call
			$.ajax({
					type: "POST",
					// define url name
					url: "{% url 'display_pagination' %}", 
					data : {    
					page_no : page_no, 
					csrfmiddlewaretoken: '{{ csrf_token }}',
				},
				// handle a successful response
				success: function (response) {
					$('#articles').html('')
					$.each(response.results, function(i, val) {
					 //append to post
					$('#articles').append('<h2>' + val.title + '</h2><p>'+ val.content +'</p>')
				   });
				},
				error: function () {
					alert('Error Occured');
				}
			}); 
	});    
	</script>
</body>
</html>


urls.py

At last, we have added path to route page to the particular link-

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from latestnews.views import (
    display_latestnews, 
)

urlpatterns = [
    path('latestnews/', display_latestnews, name="display_pagination"),
]
