Is there a way of downloading a file (such as PDF) and storing it on the device with Capacitor?

Is it possible to download and store files (accessing the file system) with Capacitor? I've only been able to find Cordova plugins, but would like to keep the app pure using Ionic and Capacitor.

You should simply use download() method like this:
