I am having problem with django rest framework pagination.
I have set pagination in settings like -

'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS':'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination',

'PAGE_SIZE': 1

Below is my viewset.

class HobbyCategoryViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):    

    serializer_class = HobbyCategorySerializer

    queryset = UserHobbyCategory.objects.all()

I want to set different page size for this viewset. I have tried setting page_size and Paginate_by class variables but list is paginated according to PAGE_SIZE defined in settings. Any idea where I am wrong ?

I fixed this by creating custom pagination class. and setting desired pagesize in class. I have used this class as pagination_class in my viewset.

from rest_framework import pagination



class ExamplePagination(pagination.PageNumberPagination):       

       page_size = 2



class HobbyCategoryViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):    

    serializer_class = HobbyCategorySerializer

    queryset = UserHobbyCategory.objects.all()

    pagination_class=ExamplePagination

I am not sure if there is any easier way for this. this one worked for me. But I think its not good to create new class just to change page_size.

Edit - simple solution is set it like

pagination.PageNumberPagination.page_size = 100 

in ViewSet.

class HobbyCategoryViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):    

    serializer_class = HobbyCategorySerializer

    queryset = UserHobbyCategory.objects.all()

    pagination.PageNumberPagination.page_size = 100 

Use page size query params to provide page size dynamically..

from rest_framework.pagination import PageNumberPagination



class StandardResultsSetPagination(PageNumberPagination):

    page_size_query_param = 'limit'

Set Default pagination class in settings

REST_FRAMEWORK = {'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'StandardResultsSetPagination',}

Now in your URL provide limit as a GET parameter..

http://example.com/list/?limit=100 or 25

In case you are trying to change the "page size" of the LimitOffsetPagination class, you have to override the default_limit variable instead of page_size:

from rest_framework import paginationclass 





CustomLimitOffsetPagination(pagination.LimitOffsetPagination):

    default_limit = 5

In the case that you want to set a default pagination value, including a max and a param, here is what you do.

1) Create a drf_defaults.py (or any name you choose). I placed it in same dir as settings.py:

"""

Django rest framework default pagination

"""

from rest_framework.pagination import PageNumberPagination





class DefaultResultsSetPagination(PageNumberPagination):

    page_size = 50

    page_size_query_param = 'page_size'

    max_page_size = 100000

2) In your settings.py, update REST_FRAMEWORK dict, adding the following:

'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'drf_defaults.DefaultResultsSetPagination',

In the end my REST_FRAMEWORK settings dict looks like:

# http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/settings/

REST_FRAMEWORK = {

    # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,

    # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.

    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [

        # 'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',  # Use to disable api auth

        # 'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly',

        'permissions.IsAuthenticatedWriteOrReadOnly',

    ],

    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [

        # 'oauth2_provider.contrib.rest_framework.OAuth2Authentication',  # Own oauth server

        'client_authentication.ApiTokenAuthentication',

        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',

        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',

    ],

    # Enable DRF pagination

    # 'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination',

    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'drf_defaults.DefaultResultsSetPagination',

    'PAGE_SIZE': 50,

    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (

        # 'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',  # Swapping out the original renderer

        'lib.drf_renderer.UJSONRenderer',

        'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',

    ),

    'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (

        # 'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',  # Swapping out the original parser

        'lib.drf_parser.UJSONParser',

        'rest_framework.parsers.FormParser',

        'rest_framework.parsers.MultiPartParser'

    ),

    'DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS': (

        'django_filters.rest_framework.DjangoFilterBackend',

    )

}

Your settings will of course vary! Cheers!
