Feature Request: Add support for reading files in chunks

[calvin-william-smith]

Feature Request

Plugin

Filesystem

Description

The Filesystem.readFile() method has only limited usefulness when it comes to large files.

Platform(s)

iOS, Android

Preferred Solution

Being able to pass in a start/offset as well as a chunk size would be ideal.

Alternatives

While this is doable with capacitor-file-chunk, it is unable to resolve Android content URIs in the same way the readFile can.

Additional Context

N/A
