My original data of mtcar gets downloaded using Download Handlers in ShinyApp whereas i want the the modified data (using SelectInputs) to be downloaded through Handlers.
I have attached my codes as well, please let me know whats wrong with them. Many thanks:)

library(shiny)

library(tidyr)

library(dplyr)

library(readr)

library(DT)



data_table <- mtcars



# Define UI

ui <- fluidPage(



downloadButton('downLoadFilter',"Download the filtered data"),



selectInput(inputId = "cyl", 

          label = "cyl:",

          choices = c("All",

                      unique(as.character(data_table$cyl))),

          selected = "4", 

          multiple = TRUE),



selectInput(inputId = "vs", 

          label = "vs:",

          choices = c("All",

                      unique(as.character(data_table$vs))),

          selected = "1", 

          multiple = TRUE),



DT::dataTableOutput('ex1'))



server <- function(input, output) {



thedata <- reactive({

if(input$cyl != 'All'){

  return(data_table[data_table$cyl == input$cyl,])

}



else if(input$vs != 'All'){

  return(data_table[data_table$vs == input$vs,])

}



else{

  return(data_table)

}

})



output$ex1 <- DT::renderDataTable(DT::datatable(filter = 'top',

                                              escape = FALSE, 

                                              options = list(pageLength = 

10, scrollX='500px',autoWidth = TRUE),{

                                                thedata() # Call reactive 

thedata()

                                              }))





output$downLoadFilter <- downloadHandler(

filename = function() {

  paste('Filtered data-', Sys.Date(), '.csv', sep = '')

},

content = function(path){

  write_csv(thedata(),path) # Call reactive thedata()

})}



shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

You are updating thedata() only inside your renderDataTable. You need to make it a reactive and then use it for being rendered as DataTable and being downloaded.
Change your server to:

# Define server logic

server <- function(input, output) {



  thedata <- reactive({

    if(input$cyl != 'All'){

      return(data_table[data_table$cyl == input$cyl,])

    }

    else{

      return(data_table)

    }

  })



output$ex1 <- DT::renderDataTable(DT::datatable(filter = 'top',

                                                  escape = FALSE, 

              options = list(pageLength = 10, scrollX='500px',autoWidth = TRUE),{

                                 thedata() # Call reactive thedata()

                               }))





output$downLoadFilter <- downloadHandler(

    filename = function() {

      paste('Filtered data-', Sys.Date(), '.csv', sep = '')

    },

    content = function(path){

      write_csv(thedata(),path) # Call reactive thedata()

    })}
