Error: request entity too large

Question

I\'m receiving the following error with express:

Error: request entity too large
    at module.exports (/Users/michaeljames/Documents/Projects/Proj/mean/node         


        

Answer 1

The following worked for me... Just use

app.use(bodyParser({limit: '50mb'}));

that's it.

Tried all above and none worked. Found that even though we use like the following,

app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(bodyParser({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb'}));

only the 1st app.use(bodyParser()); one gets defined and the latter two lines were ignored.
