Re: Using django pagination or slicing

I would use 1 + 2 from your list.

3 might work on 1000 record, depending on how much data there is per
record. But if you grow to more than 10,000 record, the page loading
can take minutes. I have experienced that issue with two different
project.

Django pagination by itself won't give you the infinite scroll you are
expecting. But it should give you an easy interface for slicing the
data from your db.

An easier way might be class based view. The following exemple create
a view to a list of object, paginated:

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views.generic import ListView

class ModelListView(ListView):
model = RecordModel
paginate_by = 20

It will try to use the template at app/record_model_list.html, the
context will have the keys paginator, page, is_paginated, object_list.
You can override the method render_to_response to return a json
response.
The documentation on ListView is at [1] and there is an exemple for
returning JsonResponse at [2]
