How to use django-filter with django-tables2

I'm trying to add a filter feature in my django-tables 2 so I opted for django-filter. I followed the documentation it worked great but I don't know how to integrate it with django-tables 2. I made a filter class and in the view i made something like this :

queryset = Fitzroyfalls.objects.select_related().all()
f = FitzroyfallsFilter(request.GET, queryset=queryset)
table = FitsroyFallsTable(f.queryset)
table.paginate(page=request.GET.get('page', 1), per_page=25)
RequestConfig(request).configure(table)
return render(request, 'query.html', {'table': table})

but nothing happens, it only displays the table with all data.

Solution

  • After hours of trying, I got the solution which is simple. In the view add those lines :

    if request.method == "GET"
    list1=list()
    for obj in f:
        list1.append(obj)
    table=FitsroyFallsTable(list1)

    aaand that's it !
