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

I faced the same issue recently and bellow solution workes for me.

Dependency : 
express >> version : 4.17.1
body-parser >> version": 1.19.0

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const app = express(); 
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));

For understanding : HTTP 431

The HTTP 413 Payload Too Large response status code indicates that the request entity is larger than limits defined by server; the server might close the connection or return a Retry-After header field.
