django-tables2 simplifies the task of turning sets of data into HTML tables. It
has native support for pagination and sorting. It does for HTML tables what
django.forms

Start by adding django_tables2
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
"django_tables2",
)
Creating a table for a model Simple
is as simple as:
import django_tables2 as tables
class SimpleTable(tables.Table):
class Meta:
model = Simple
This would then be used in a view:
class TableView(tables.SingleTableView):
table_class = SimpleTable
queryset = Simple.objects.all()
template_name = "simple_list.html"
And finally in the template:
{% load django_tables2 %}
{% render_table table %}
This example shows one of the simplest cases, but django-tables2 can do a lot more! Check out the documentation for more details.
