Pagination

# Import Paginator class
>>> from django.core.paginator import Paginator

# Create dummy posts that we'd like to paginate
>>> posts = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']

# Create paginator objects
>>> p = Paginator(objects, 2) # Create 2 posts per page

# Number of posts
>>> p.count
5

# Number of pages
>>> p.num_pages
3

# Check page range
>>> p.page_range
range(1, 3)

# Loop over the pages
>>> for page in p.page_range
...     print(page)

# Look at each page
>>> page1 = p.page(1)
>>> page1
<Page 1 of 3>

# Check the page number
>>> page1.number
1

# Check posts on the page
>>> page1.object_list
['1', '2']

# Create variable for page 2
>>> page2 = p.page(2)
>>> page2.object_list
['3', '4']

# Check if page 2 has a previous page
>>> page2.has_previous()
True

# Check if page 2 has a next page
>>> page2.has_next()
True

# Check page 2's next page number
>>> page2.next_page_number()
3

# Check page 2's previous page number
>>> page2.previous_page_number()
1

# Check if page 2 has other pages
>>> page2.has_other_pages()
True

# The 1-based index of the first item on this page
>>> page2.start_index()
3

# The 1-based index of the last item on this page
>>> page2.end_index()

# Check page 0
>>> p.page(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):

EmptyPage: That page number is less than 1

# Check page 4
>>> p.page(4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
