Hi , i have a data table with an excel button at top and i want to convert it into font awesome excel icon . How do i achieve it? Right now i am using buttons as:

 "options"=>array(
                    "order" => [],
                    "bInfo" => false,
                    "dom" => 'Bfrtip',
                    "buttons" => [
                         'excel'
                    ],

Ankit, pls check the guide from this DataTables' example:

https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/styling/icons.html

Certainly you would have to change the json setting to php array.

Perfect , this worked perfectly:

 "buttons" => [
                     array(
                        'extend'=>'excelHtml5',
                        'text'=>'<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o"></i>',
                         'titleAttr'=>'Excel'
                     )
                ],
