API Resumen

`printBase64`

Muestra la interfaz de impresión para imprimir archivos codificados como cadenas base64.

Comportamiento de la plataforma:

iOSUsa UIPrintInteractionController con datos base64 descodificados
Android: Utiliza PrintManager con datos base64 descodificados
Web: Crea un blob a partir de datos base64 y abre el diálogo de impresión

Advertencia de rendimiento: Los archivos grandes pueden provocar que la aplicación se cierre debido a las restricciones de memoria al decodificar base64. Se recomienda utilizar printFile() para archivos mayores a 5MB.

import { Printer } from '@capgo/capacitor-printer';

// Print a base64 encoded PDF
await Printer.printBase64({
  name: 'Invoice #12345',
  data: 'base64-encoded-pdf-data',
  mimeType: 'application/pdf',
});

// Print a base64 encoded image
await Printer.printBase64({
  name: 'Product Photo',
  data: '/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDA...',
  mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
});

`printFile`

Presenta la interfaz de impresión para archivos de dispositivo.

Comportamiento de la plataforma:

iOS: Utiliza UIPrintInteractionController con la URL del archivo. Soporta paths file:// o paths relativos al directorio de documentos de la aplicación.
Android: Utiliza PrintManager con ruta de archivo. Soporta tanto URIs content:// como paths file://.
Web: Lee archivo y abre diálogo de impresión

Tipos de archivo admitidos:

Documentos PDF (application/pdf)
Imágenes: JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, HEIF

`PrintBase64Options`

Opciones para imprimir datos codificados en base64.

   * Valid base64 encoded string representing the file content.
   *
   * The base64 string should NOT include the data URL prefix (e.g., "data:application/pdf;base64,").
   * Only provide the raw base64 encoded content.
   *
   * **Performance Considerations:**
   * - Base64 encoding increases data size by approximately 33%
   * - Large files (>5MB) may cause memory issues when decoding
   * - Consider using printFile() for large documents
   *
   * **Platform Notes:**
   * - **iOS**: Decoded to NSData and passed to UIPrintInteractionController
   * - **Android**: Decoded to byte array and written to temporary file
   * - **Web**: Converted to Blob for printing
   *
   * @since 7.0.0
   * @example 'base64-encoded-pdf-data'
