Description

Discussed in https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/discussions/924

Originally posted by tyzion February 10, 2023
Hi, I have a question

Is it possible to get the total size of uploaded files from the library without calculating it myself?
I have setup a maxTotalFileSize, so I think the library already has that info, am I right?
I'm asking because I haven't found any info about this.

Research direction

Start by reading Discussion 924 and tracing how maxTotalFileSize is handled in the library. Determine whether the total uploaded file size is already available through the public API or whether the request needs a new API behavior; completion should include a clear, documented outcome and coverage for that behavior.
