GSoC Task 4 -- Pagination for formset
About the Task
The idea was to paginated output for the FormSet
Similar to the as_p
and as_table
. This may have proven useful for someone using formsets to display a lot of forms at once and need some of the management from the backend side.
What I did ??
I directly started writing the code for this task, as I have already discovered about the Paginator
class in Django core. And that turned out to be a huge mistake. I didn’t take reviews from any fellow contributor, on whether this feature was required or not, and if yes how to implement. I continued working on this for more than two and a half weeks, and finally, when I push the code along with the tests, someone raised the concern that new features will only be accepted if there was a corresponding approved ticket. So I launched a new ticket for the same. But after some discussion the tickets page it was decided that this feature is not needed, and I discontinued the task :(.
