feat: Huge files - read them as streams

[S0urC10ud]

Feature Request

You cannot read huge files as they won't fit into the RAM of your system... For writing files you can just use the append-function, but for reading files there sadly is no real solution.

Platform(s)

All available ones

Preferred Solution

File-Streams

Alternative Solution

Create from- and to-parameter for "FileReadOptions" to define an area of the file to read.

Hey @S0urC10ud, thanks for opening this issue, and apologies for the time it took to address it. We have introduced a readFileInChunks @capacitor/filesystem plugin, from version 7.1.0. This should satisfy your use case.

If you want to open new issues, please open them in the new repository.

Will be closing this issue. Thank you!
