Paginator

Django Unfold provides a specialized paginator called InfinitePaginator designed specifically for handling large datasets efficiently. When working with tables containing millions of records, standard Django pagination can become slow due to expensive COUNT queries that calculate the total number of records.

InfinitePaginator

The InfinitePaginator offers several advantages for large dataset management:

• Eliminates expensive COUNT operations on the database
• Displays simplified navigation with only "Previous" and "Next" links
• Removes the upper limit on page numbers
• Significantly improves performance for very large tables

Implementation

To use the InfinitePaginator in your admin interface, simply configure your ModelAdmin class as follows:

from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin
from unfold.paginator import InfinitePaginator


class YourAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    paginator = InfinitePaginator
    show_full_result_count = False
