Start by addingdjango_tables2 to yourINSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS= (    ...,"django_tables2",)

Creating a table for a modelSimple is as simple as:

importdjango_tables2astablesclassSimpleTable(tables.Table):classMeta:model=Simple

This would then be used in a view:

classTableView(tables.SingleTableView):table_class=SimpleTablequeryset=Simple.objects.all()template_name="simple_list.html"

And finally in the template:

{% load django_tables2 %}{% render_table table %}

This example shows one of the simplest cases, but django-tables2 can do a lot more!Check out thedocumentation for more details.
