How do I use generic views in Django templates?

You can use Django's generic views to simplify your views and templates. For example, you can use ListView to display a list of objects.

Can you show me an example of a ListView in a template?

Sure! In your views.py, you can create a ListView like this:

from django.views.generic import ListView
from .models import MyModel

class MyModelListView(ListView):
    model = MyModel
    template_name = 'mymodel_list.html'

Then, in your template, you can loop through the objects:

<ul>
{% for object in object_list %}
    <li>{{ object.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

What if I want to add pagination to my ListView?

You can easily add pagination by setting the paginate_by attribute in your ListView. For example:

class MyModelListView(ListView):
    model = MyModel
    template_name = 'mymodel_list.html'
    paginate_by = 10  # Show 10 objects per page
