Discussion

PhoneGap File System Actions - (File URI Based) is similar to PhoneGap - File System Actions in that both actions allow you to perform actions on the device's file system, such as read a file, write a file, create a directory, delete a directory, etc. The key difference is PhoneGap File System Actions - (File URI Based) gives you explicit control over where the operations are performed in the device's file system by specifying a file URI. PhoneGap - File System Actions only operates on files in a default location.

You can perform the following actions using PhoneGap File System Actions - (File URI Based) Action Javascript:

Action Name: Description
File System Is Available: Returns true if Cordova is running and the local file system is available.

Write a File: Write a file. Optionally specify if the data should be appended to the end of the existing data if the file already exists.
