render.download_button

render.download_button(
    fn=None,
    *,
    filename=None,
    media_type=None,
    encoding='utf-8',
    label='Download',
    width=None,
)

Reactively render a download button.

Register a function that generates a download, and (in Express) auto-place a download button. The decorated function may be sync or async, and should either return a filename (str) to send an existing file, or yield one or more strings or bytestrings for a generated file (in which case pass a filename argument).

Parameters

filename : Optional[str | Callable[[], str]] = None: The filename of the download.
media_type : None | str | Callable[[], str] = None: The media type of the download.
encoding : str = 'utf-8': The encoding of the download.
label : TagChild = 'Download': (Express only) A label for the button. Defaults to “Download”.
width : str | None = None: (Express only) The width of the button.

Returns

The decorated function.

Tip

In Shiny Core, pair this with download_button in the UI (the decorated function’s name should match the id).

Examples

#| standalone: true
#| components: [editor, viewer]
#| layout: vertical
#| viewerHeight: 400
