How can I implement pagination in a Django REST API?

You can implement pagination in a Django REST API using Django REST Framework's built-in pagination classes. Do you want to see an example?

Yes, please provide an example of how to set it up.

First, you need to add pagination settings in your settings.py file. For example:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination',
    'PAGE_SIZE': 10,
}

This will set the default page size to 10 items.

What if I want to customize the page size for different views?

You can override the pagination class in your view. For example:

from rest_framework.pagination import PageNumberPagination

class CustomPagination(PageNumberPagination):
    page_size = 5

class MyViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
    pagination_class = CustomPagination

This way, you can set a custom page size for that specific view.
