I'm creating rest endpoints in my nodejs application as follows:
In my server.js I have the following code:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(express.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
app.use(require('./routes/APIRoutes'));
I also tried the code below instead of using the express.json and expres.urlencoded as suggested on the potential duplicate question.
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
app.use(require('./routes/APIRoutes'));
In my APIRoutes file I have the following code:
/* --- INIT --- */
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
router.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
var urlencodedParser = bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true });
router.post('...', urlencodedParser, function (req, res) {
...
});
I tried different combinations and orders for setting the limit higher. But currently every time I send a payload of 2kb, I get an 413 "(Payload Too Large)" error back.
Any help what the correct location is for setting the limit?
I found the solution for my problem in one of the unaccepted answers of the suggested duplicate of TKJohn. I had to add the parameter limit so that my code became:
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000 }));
After the addition it worked!
I was also ablo to remove the code from APIRoutes.js
router.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
You can use this straightaway in express if you are using the latest version of express.
let express = require('express');
let app = express();
app.use(express.json({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit:50000}));
Please note that this will only work with express versions bundled with bodyParser
(bodyParser was added back to express in release 4.16.0)
This worked for me
this.express.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
this.express.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: "50mb" ,extended: true, parameterLimit: 50000 }));
