return render(request, 'entries.html', {'table_entries': table_entries})Next create page template entries.html:
{% load sitetables %}
<!-- The following line usually goes into head tag. It'll load all needed css. -->
{% sitetables_css table_entries %}
<!-- The following resides in body tag. Note that in this scenario
thead and tbody will be populated using JS automatically. -->
<table id="table-entries"></table>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
<!-- Initialize table using generated config. -->
