\usage{
downloadHandler(filename, content, contentType = NA)
}
\arguments{
\item{filename}{A string of the filename, including extension, that the
user's web browser should default to when downloading the file; or a
function that returns such a string. (Reactive values and functions may be
used from this function.)}
\item{content}{A function that takes a single argument \code{file} that is a
file path (string) of a nonexistent temp file, and writes the content to
that file path. (Reactive values and functions may be used from this
function.)}
\item{contentType}{A string of the download's
\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type}{content type}, for
example \code{"text/csv"} or \code{"image/png"}. If \code{NULL} or
\code{NA}, the content type will be guessed based on the filename
extension, or \code{application/octet-stream} if the extension is unknown.}
}
\description{
Allows content from the Shiny application to be made available to the user as
file downloads (for example, downloading the currently visible data as a CSV
file). Both filename and contents can be calculated dynamically at the time
the user initiates the download. Assign the return value to a slot on
\code{output} in your server function, and in the UI use
\code{\link{downloadButton}} or \code{\link{downloadLink}} to make the
download available.

write.csv(data, file)

# In ui.R:
downloadLink('downloadData', 'Download')
