Hi @isaacbuckman ,

Thanks for your contribution, I'd try to avoid such a breaking change and instead prefer to add a condition on the initialFiles prop.

I'd make the prop accept both string and fileObject and based on the type make the this.loadInitialFiles method call createFileFromUrl(url) or skip it.

Hey @panz3r,

I agree that the breaking change is probably unnecessary for now. Maybe it is something we can do in the future. I updated the files so the change is no longer breaking.

A bit of changes to the typings and it's good for me.

P.S. Can you please do a git rebase after the changes to keep only the required commits (you can remove all the commits up to and including the Revert one)?

[isaacbuckman]

@panz3r Removed the old commits so we should be good now.

LGTM 👍

Thanks again for your contribution!

⚠️ Waiting to merge because I'd like to finish some bugfixes on 3.2 before starting 3.3.
