I'm starting to learn django and using it to build and interface to our mongoDB using also mongoengine.
I'm following this tutorial to use django-tables2 but I can't even start it because I get the error Expected table or queryset, not QuerySet.
This is the class I'm using:

class Companies(Document):
 url = StringField(required=True, unique=True)
 name = StringField(required=True)
 founded = IntField()
 headquarters = EmbeddedDocumentField(HQ)
 description = StringField()

On the view I'm just doing

def companies(request):
 return render(request, 'toolbox/companies.html', 'companies': Companies.objects.all())

I see that mongoengine output is a QuerySet type. How can I convert it to some type I can input on django-tables?
Thank you for the help!

The data format django-tables2 expects is a QuerySet, a list of dicts, or something behaving like that. You can create a class inheriting from TableData, pass that to a vanilla django_tables2.Table and put that in your context instead of Companies.objects.all().

It would look somewhat like this:

import django_tables2 as tables
from django_tables2.data import TableQuerysetData


class TableDocumentData(TableQuerysetData):
 # not sure what to override here, since I do not know the mongoengine API at all


def companies(request):
 table = CompanyTable(data=TableDocumentData(Companies.objects.all()))

 return render(request, 'toolbox/companies.html', 'companies': table)
