TypeError at /products/ object of type 'ModelBase' has no len()

Question

So I'm trying to use pagination, When I visit the page I get TypeError at /products/ object of type 'ModelBase' has no len(). The traceback shows this line has the error books = haha.page(page)

views.py

def showproducts(request):
    oof = CartItem.objects.filter(user=request.user).values_list('book', flat=True)
    lmao = OrderItem.objects.filter(user=request.user).values_list('book', flat=True)
    hehe = CartItem.objects.filter(user=request.user)
    category = Category.objects.all()
    haha = Paginator(Book, 2)
    page = request.GET.get('page')
    if page is None:
        page = 1
    fianlprice = 0
    for item in hehe:
        fianlprice += item.book.price
    # books = Book.objects.all()
    books = haha.page(page)
    return render(request, 'main/products.html', {'books':books, 'price':fianlprice, 'cart':oof, 'order':lmao, 'category':category})

products.html

Answer 1

The paginator needs a QuerySet , not a model, so:

#               queryset ↓
haha = Paginator(Book, 2)
