Why is not the MultiUploadEventArguments object a list of UploadEventArguments?

Question

The MultiUploadEventArguments object has lists for contents, names, and types, where an uploaded file corresponds to the same index in each list. Why are the properties for each file not packed together in the same element?

Hi @JS-Aibel,

I'm not sure if there was a specific reason for it other than that "the same element" would require another data structure like tuple, dict, NamedTuple, dataclass, ... But yes, a list of "files" might have been a better choice than multiple lists.

Changing the data structure would introduce a breaking change. But we could extend it with an additional field files: List[UploadFile]. I'll convert this discussion into a feature request in case we want to further discuss this API.
