app_vue2/components/Ui/Downloader.vue

<!--
Wrapper to allow an UI element to trigger a file download

The only required property is the File entity to download. It has to be in READY state.
Trigger the download by calling `scope.download` on the event you like.
If you want to display a loading animation while the download request is submitted, you can achieve this with `scope.downloading`

Usage (default button) :

    <UiDownloader :file="file"></UiDownloader>

Usage (custom button) :

    <UiDownloader :file="file" v-slot="scope">
        <v-btn color="primary" :loading="scope.downloading" @click="scope.download">
            {{ $t('download') }}
        </v-btn>
    </UiDownloader>
-->

  <div>
    <slot :download="download" :downloading="downloading">

        {{ $t('download') }}
      </v-btn>
