window.requestFileSystem about cordova-windows

[janpio]

This is not really a cordova-windows question, but something that concerns cordova-plugin-file.

That being said, is window.requestFileSystem a thing the plugin adds or a general browser API? Should this API be available on Windows?
Does the request of the actual plugin work as expected (is cordova.file present and looking good)?

Code for the functionality lives here:

I just created a Cordova Windows app and added the file plugin:

E:\Projects\throwaway
λ cd cordovaWindowsFile\

E:\Projects\throwaway\cordovaWindowsFile  ([email protected])
λ cordova platform add windows
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-windows@^7.0.0

When I ran it with cordova run windows and connected to the WebView with Microsoft Edge DevTools, I got this in the console:

So I would say this works as intended.
