[Feature]: Allow devs to consume bigger files (5+ MB) on client. #13561

Open somangshu opened 2 years ago

somangshu commented 2 years ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

We need to expose a way to read the blob and bind it to the a certain widget.
When user tries to upload a large file, say 50MB our app will crash, and to solve that we have to use local storage or local db.

Why should this be worked on?

A user faced a challenge when they uploaded a CSV and wanted to show that data in for say the table widget. The user did not face any challenge for the short files, but was not able to do anything with the big files since they automatically become blobs which is not consumable on the client.

As pointed out by @nidhi-nair maybe one solution is #3961. We will need to discuss that more
