Using JsEvent("GetFileContents") for large files

mkhtran

It seems that `JsEvent("GetFileContents")` will fail (return an empty string) if it tries to read a file that is too big. Somewhere around 1 MB is the limit.

Is there any way around this?

Currently I have to chunk my data across multiple files so that the UI can read it with `JsEvent("GetFileContents")`.

def on_complete(self) -> None:
    chunk_size = 1000000 # This is a good size to prevent GetFileContents from failing
    for index in range(0, len(self.data), chunk_size):
        chunk = data[index:index + chunk_size]
        with open(self.provider.environment.create_temp_file(), "w") as data_file:
            data_file.write(chunk)

void (async () => {
  const chunks = []
  for (const dataFile in dataFiles) {
    chunks.push(await JsEvent('GetFileContents', { Path: dataFile }))
  }
  const data = chunks.join()
})()

But I also have other files I'd like to read that I cannot simply chunk.
