How to create a downloadable link for word document?

[dhl284]

Hi everyone, I’ve tried to use streamlit app to do some kind of Word Docx automation works using the python docx package. After the script run I’ve got a document object, is there any way to provide a downloadable link for users to download the document object?

Reference for the package documentation:Document objects — python-docx 0.8.10 documentation

The general solution for providing a download link/button can be seen at the following:

A download button with custom CSS

[Update 2020-07-18] Revised the function to display a download button instead of a link after clicking a button, saving a UI step. The associated gist has been updated with the new version. Also, updated post title to reflect changes (hope that’s ok mods). Hi, if it helps others, I created a first pass general file downloader for my personal Streamlit projects. I’ve also built an examples app to test it out with your files and to provide code snippets you can copy & paste. See the following Gi…

The general idea is that you take the object and convert it to bytes, then provide those bytes into a link using a Python f-string. The attached link has much more detail.

Best,
