Accessing a linux filesystem

[jonocodes]

On andriod I can use capacidor-plugins/filesystem

But when running in web/desktop I would like to read files from my local host filesystem. Like using nodejs fs module, but that does not have access.

Is there a recommended way to do this?

On web is not possible to access the computer files with an API, there are APIs for showing prompts for picking or saving files, but not read the filesystems directly.

On desktop it was possible on electron platform as it used node API to do so, but not sure what's the status on the community electron platform related to plugin usage, in the past when all the plugins were bundled in the platform it was possible, but once they got removed from the platform not sure if there is a filesystem plugin you can install and use.
