Paginate Django formset

Question

I have a model formset that I want to display 10 forms at a time using Django\'s Paginator, but it can\'t be done like paginator = Paginator(formset, 10). What\

Answer 1

A more elegant solution is to set ordered=True on the Page object so that it can be passed to a ModelFormSet.

Here is an example:

forms_per_page = 10
current_page = 1

ModelFormSet = modelformset_factory(MyModel, form=MyForm)
queryset = MyModel.objects.all()

paginator = Paginator(queryset, forms_per_page)
page_object = paginator.page(current_page)
page_object.ordered = True

form = ModelFormSet(queryset=page_object)

This is more efficient than the accepted answer because avoids the second database query that takes place in the line:

page_query = query.filter(id__in=[object.id for object in objects])
