## Using

### View
#### FBV (Function based view)

    def listing(request):
        contact_list = Contacts.objects.all()
        paginator = Paginator(contact_list, 25)

        page = request.GET.get('page')
        page_obj = paginator.get_page(page)
        return render(request, 'list.html', {'page_obj': page_obj})

#### CBV (Class based view)

    class Listing(ListView):
        model = Item
        paginate_by = 5

### Template
    {% load cool_paginate %}
    
    {% for contact in page_obj %}
        ...
    {% endfor %}
    
    {% cool_paginate page_obj=ENTER HERE YOUR PAGE OBJECT! %}

> **Note:**
You don't have to specify `page` if its name is `page_obj` as default.

## Customization
You can customize it so that it works as you want. Customize it by defining settings either in setting.py or 
inside of `{% cool_paginate %} `

#### setting.py

`COOL_PAGINATOR_NEXT_NAME` - Name for "next" button in pagination bar. <br/>
`COOL_PAGINATOR_PREVIOUS_NAME` - Name for "previous" button in pagination bar <br/>
`COOL_PAGINATOR_SIZE` - Size of pagination bar (choose: "LARGE" or "SMALL") <br/>
`COOL_PAGINATOR_ELASTIC` - What page width is elastic mode enabled from?

#### {% cool_paginate page_obj next_name previous_name size elastic %}
`page_obj` - Type here your page object. <br/>
`next_name` - Name for "next" button in pagination bar. <br/>
`previous_name` - Name for "previous" button in pagination bar <br/>
`size` - Size of pagination bar (choose: "LARGE" or "SMALL") <br/>
`elastic` - What page width is elastic mode enabled from?

> **Note:**
> `{% cool_paginate %}` has a priority, _django-cool-pagination_ will firstly look at this, after at setting.py
