    has_icon = TRUE,
    icon = "fa fa-save"
  )

mtcars %>% 
  download_this(
    output_name = "mtcars dataset",
    output_extension = ".xlsx",
    button_label = "Download data as xlsx",
    button_type = "primary",
    has_icon = TRUE,
    icon = "fa fa-save"
  )

mtcars %>% 
  download_this(
    output_name = "mtcars dataset",
    output_extension = ".csv",

    button_type = "success",
    has_icon = TRUE,
