Proposal
data-bind should create a single signal for 'file' type inputs with a list of objects describing the files.
This would better match how the data-bind plugin works for all other input types. Every other input type only creates one signal, the exact one the user has specified to bind to. Currently file inputs result in two extra signals that the user has not explicitly specified.
This would also better match the underlying
FileListapi that the input element provides (Which is a list ofFileobjects.) I have named the mime fieldtypeto match the File interfacePR with implementation is here, but no need to use it, just wanted to put this proposal up formally somewhere.
