installation

Install module.

    pip install django-infinite-scroll

Add to settings.py

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # ...
        'infscroll',
    ]

First, let's make a view that will load the dynamic content:

    from infscroll.views import more_items
    def more(request):
        # This is the list that will be paginated.
        list_items = MyModel.objects.all()
        return more_items(request, list_items,
                          # (optional) your custom template
                          template='more.html')

Add it to urls.py

    path('more/', myapp.views.more, name='more'),

Finally, Add to the view you want to show the infinite scroll:

    from infscroll.utils import get_pagination
    def my_view(request):
        # The list of items to be paginated. It can be any list of queryset.
        list_items = MyModel.objects.all()
        paginated = get_pagination(request, list_items)
        # we must declare the url where it will load more stuff
        data = {
            'more_posts_url': reverse('more'),
            }
        # update with paginated info
        data.update(paginated)
        return render(request, 'my_view.html', data)

Now add to your template:

    {% load infinite_scroll %}
    <html>
        <body>
            <p>Hello</p>
            <!-- The dynamically loaded items will show here -->
            {% infinite_scroll_box %}
            <!-- This can go in the end of the template. Will load css and js -->
            {% set_infinite_scroll %}
        </body>
    </html>

Now go to the page of "my_view", and you should have infinite scroll!

(optional) If you want to use a custom "load_more" template

Here is an example:

    {% load infinite_scroll %}
    {% for item in feed %}
        {{ item }}
    {% endfor %}
    {% infinite_scroll_tags %}

Just add this for loop to iterate the list and include the scroll tags

Settings
