django-tables2 is a Django app for creating HTML tables.
Note
Prior to v0.6.0 this package was a fork of miracle2k's and both were known as django-tables. This caused some problems (e.g. ambiguity and inability to put this library on PyPI) so as of v0.6.0 this package is known as django-tables2.
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 does for HTML forms.
Creating a table 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:
def simple_list(request):
queryset = Simple.objects.all()
table = SimpleTable(queryset)
return render_to_response("simple_list.html", {"table": table},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
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.
