Description
Currently, I'm creating an API client library in Javascript to communicate between API's and this library is super useful for this.
I just struggle with the use of files, because after generating a swagger file with File/Binary type when the openapi-generator
use the File Type in the returnType, this is causing problems when I try to use it inside another API that is built in Nodejs because this class only exists in WebAPI.
Reading the documentation I saw that in the Java generator there's a property you can enable to use the raw data (bytes). Could be possible to have something like this in the javascript generator?

Research direction
Start by locating the JavaScript generator code that maps File/Binary schemas to returnType values, then compare it with the Java generator's raw-data or bytes option. Done means a configurable JavaScript-generator behavior avoids the WebAPI-only File type when generating Node.js clients.
