Class Based Views and Django-filter

The example in the official documentation, https://django-filter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html, is  for a function based view. I have researched how to do the same with a class-based view. I implemented the solution by just overwriting the queryset to allow filtering and context to embed the filters in the template. You can see the complete project where I used CBVs and Django filter on my GitHub link.

from tasktreker.todo.models import Todo
import django_filters


class TaskFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    title = django_filters.CharFilter(lookup_expr='icontains')
    description = django_filters.CharFilter(lookup_expr='icontains')
    # year_joined = django_filters.NumberFilter(name='date_joined', lookup_expr='year')
    # groups = django_filters.ModelMultipleChoiceFilter(queryset=Group.objects.all(),
    # widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)

    class Meta:
        model = Todo
        fields = ['title', 'description', 'client', 'priority', 'status', 'type', 'assigned']

# we only create a TaskBaseView so that we don’t repeat the model, fields and success_url info lines, then we make our
# Task View Classes inherit from both TaskBaseView and the respective Generic View Classes that Django already has for
# doing CRUD operations.

class TaskBaseView(View):
    model = Todo
    success_url = reverse_lazy('todo:alltodo')
    context_object_name = 'tasks'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        queryset = self.get_queryset()
        filter = TaskFilter(self.request.GET, queryset)
        context["filter"] = filter
        return context

# view to list tasks in the database assigned to task owner/client
class ClientOnlyTasks(LoginRequiredMixin, TaskBaseView, ListView):
    template_name = 'todo/client_only_tasks.html'

    def get_queryset(self):
        queryset = Todo.objects.filter(client__user=self.request.user)
        filter = TaskFilter(self.request.GET, queryset)
        return filter.qs

                              <table class="table table-striped">
                                      <thead>
                                              <tr>
                                                  <th>Title</th>
                                                  <th>Description</th>
                                                  <th>Client</th>
