Querystring fieldsΒΆ
Tables pass data via the querystring to indicate ordering and pagination preferences.
The names of the querystring variables are configurable via the options:
order_by_field
– default:"sort"
page_field
– default:"page"
per_page_field
– default:"per_page"
, note: this field currently isn’t used by{% render_table %}
Each of these can be specified in three places:
Table.Meta.foo
Table(..., foo=...)
Table(...).foo = ...
If you’re using multiple tables on a single page, you’ll want to prefix these fields with a table-specific name. e.g.
def people_listing(request):
config = RequestConfig(request)
table1 = PeopleTable(Person.objects.all(), prefix="1-") # prefix specified
table2 = PeopleTable(Person.objects.all(), prefix="2-") # prefix specified
config.configure(table1)
config.configure(table2)
return render(request, "people_listing.html",
{"table1": table1, "table2": table2})
