Hi Joe,

Just an idea:

Why not just use another keyword argument, like "files_number", "count", "max_files" (along maybe with a "min_files"), or something like, with a default of 1 (to match current behaviour with a single file), and an allowed value of 0 for infinite?

If you allow multiple files upload at once, chances are that there will be many use cases for limiting the number of uploads to a specific range/value.

Not sure about the form's implementation, though.

Hi there!

I do need some feedback on the best public API to implement multi file support to Django forms.

Context:

Up until now Django forms do not support multi file upload. You will need to write your own view to handle the files as described here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/http/file-uploads/#uploading-multiple-files

Of course it is not too hard to implement actual multi file support as I have been showcasing here:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/9011/files

The question is now to best add support for multiple file uploads without wrecking backwards compatibility?

As Tim wisely mentioned, it might be confusing to add a `multiple` argument to the FileField while also having the
|
attrs={'multiple':True}
|
still in the mix.

My suggestion would be to add the new keyword argument which enable the new behavior and keep the attr-thing as is. I could add a warning if someone uses the "old" style. It is a bit suggestive though.

What do you think, mabe look at the documentation changes in the PR for more context.

Best
-Joe
