    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.
COOL_PAGINATOR_PREVIOUS_NAME - Name for "previous" button in pagination bar
COOL_PAGINATOR_SIZE - Size of pagination bar (choose: "LARGE" or "SMALL")
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.
next_name - Name for "next" button in pagination bar.
previous_name - Name for "previous" button in pagination bar
size - Size of pagination bar (choose: "LARGE" or "SMALL")
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
