Accessing the filesystem

What’s the recommended approach for an Ionic+Capacitor app to access the filesystem via Electron?

There’s a couple of options:

1. Ionic’s File plugin: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file
2. Capacitor’s Filesystem plugin: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/filesystem

But none of them allow me to access for example my home directory ~.

With pure Electron I can just use fs but that’s not an option here as I’d like it to work with Android as well.

A recommended approach and perhaps a code example would be really appreciated as the current docs are only focused on iOS and Android for these plugins.

I added a pull-request to the default Capacitor plugins repo that adds support for Electron to the Filesystem plugin: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/pull/792

If you use Directory.Documents as a path on a desktop (Windows 10 and Chrome). Where are the files saved? I notice that it is updated with data but I can’t find it on the disk.

I also join the question

I found out that the files saved with

await Filesystem.writeFile ({ path: ‘AAAAtext222.txt’, data: ‘This is a test’, directory: Directory.Documents, encoding: Encoding.UTF8, });

in the electron assembly for winodws 10

Save to IndexedDB

I would like to save the files in the root of the program, so where exe. Who knows how?
