import { useCsvDownloader } from 'services/useCsvResponse';

const exportOptions = [
  {
    name: 'Download CSV',
    icon: CSVIcon,
  },
];

export const ExportButton = () => {
  const { getCsvFile } = useCsvDownloader();

  const downloadCSVFile = async () => {
    const data = await getCsvFile({
      start_date: new Date('2021-12-21T09:35:31.820Z'),
