< p > Django provides a few classes that help you manage paginated data – ’ < / p >
< p > — < a href = "https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/pagination/" > Django documentation< / a > < / p >
< / blockquote >
< p > REST framework includes a < code > PaginationSerializer< / code > class that makes it easy to return paginated data in a way that can then be rendered to arbitrary media types. < / p >
< h2 id = "paginating-basic-data" > Paginating basic data< / h2 >
< p > Let's start by taking a look at an example from the Django documentation.< / p >
< pre class = "prettyprint lang-py" > < code > from django.core.paginator import Paginator
objects = ['john', 'paul', 'george', 'ringo']
paginator = Paginator(objects, 2)
page = paginator.page(1)
page.object_list
# ['john', 'paul']
< / code > < / pre >
< p > 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.< / p >
< pre class = "prettyprint lang-py" > < code > from rest_framework.pagination import PaginationSerializer
serializer = PaginationSerializer(instance=page)
serializer.data
# {'count': 4, 'next': '?page=2', 'previous': None, 'results': [u'john', u'paul']}
< / code > < / pre >
< p > The < code > context< / code > argument of the < code > PaginationSerializer< / code > 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.< / p >
< pre class = "prettyprint lang-py" > < code > 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']}

< p > We could now return that data in a < code > Response< / code > object, and it would be rendered into the correct media type.< / p >
< h2 id = "paginating-querysets" > Paginating QuerySets< / h2 >
< p > Our first example worked because we were using primative 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 with.< / p >
< p > We can do this using the < code > object_serializer_class< / code > attribute on the inner < code > Meta< / code > class of the pagination serializer. For example.< / p >

< p > The generic class based views < code > ListAPIView< / code > and < code > ListCreateAPIView< / code > provide pagination of the returned querysets by default.

< p > The default pagination style may be set globally, using the < code > PAGINATION_SERIALIZER< / code > and < code > PAGINATE_BY< / code > settings. For example.< / p >
