CB-5403: Bump File plugin major version
> Overhaul File API implementation
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-5403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5403
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin File
> Reporter: Ian Clelland
> Assignee: Ian Clelland
>
> This is the meta-issue for all of the File API-related changes.
> File is getting overhauled, to provide the following features:
> 1. Entry.toURL() should return a filesystem:// URL on platforms which support
> it. Platforms which cannot support custom URL protocols are free to return
> URLs which *can* be used to access the local file system.
> 2. These URLs will look like:
> filesystem://localhost/persistent/path/to/file.ext
> filesystem://localhost/temporary/path/to/file.ext
> Additional roots are possible for new file systems (assets, media, documents,
> etc)
> (The specific format used does not need to conform to any existing or
> proposed standard, since these URLs should not be assumed valid across
> machines)
> 3. Entry.fullPath will be relative to the HTML file system root, and not a
> path from the root of the actual device file system.
> 4. Only URLs will be passed over the exec bridge; we won't be passing raw
> file system paths into and out of JS anymore. (This generally means
> filesystem:// URLs in the iOS/Android case, but platforms are free to support
> other URLs as needed)
> 5. Tests need to be updated so that they still pass when these changes are
> made.
> 6. File plugin should be modular, so that additional filesystem types can be
> easily supported.
