I have a problem when I want to paginate the filter that I create with django_filter, in my template it shows me the query set and filter but paginate does not work, I would like to know why this happens and if you could help me.
I’ll insert snippets of my code so you can see.
This is my views.py
PD: i have all the necesary imports.
@method_decorator(staff_member_required, name='dispatch') class EmployeeListView(ListView): model = Employee paginate_by = 4 def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if not request.user.has_perm('employee.view_employee'): return redirect(reverse_lazy('home')) return super(EmployeeListView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context['filter'] = EmployeeFilter(self.request.GET, queryset = self.get_queryset()) return context
filters.py
import django_filters from .models import Employee, Accident class EmployeeFilter(django_filters.FilterSet): class Meta: model = Employee fields = { 'rutEmployee' : ['startswith'] }

Answer
You should override get_queryset
.This means you have to put your filter in get_queryset
like this:
@method_decorator(staff_member_required, name='dispatch') class EmployeeListView(ListView): model = Employee paginate_by = 4 def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if not request.user.has_perm('employee.view_employee'): return redirect(reverse_lazy('home')) return super(EmployeeListView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs) def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs) context['filter'] = EmployeeFilter(self.request.GET, queryset = self.get_queryset()) return context def get_queryset(self): queryset = super().get_queryset() return EmployeeFilter(self.request.GET, queryset=queryset).qs
and use object_list
instead of filter
in employee_list.html like this:
{% for employee in object_list|dictsort:"id" reversed %}
