File Too Large Error Handling Nodejs Express Multer

Question

I am using multer with ExpressJS. I want to limit file uploads to 0.5 MB.

var limits = { fileSize: 0.5 * 1024 * 1024 };

var upload = multer({ dest: './public/uploads/', limits: limits
 }).single('upl')

 app.post('/',upload, function (req, res) {
  upload(req, res, function (err) {
    if (err) {
            console.log("cs " + err);
      return
    }

           res.end('You new avatar is uploaded')
    // Everything went fine
  })
})

When the file is under 0.5 MB I can see 'You new avatar is uploaded' but when it is over I get,

Error: File too large

   at abortWithCode (C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\nodejs projects\dummy\node_modules\multer\lib\make-middleware.js:77:22)

   at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:153:18)
   at PartStream.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:111:10)

Obviously I would never want the end user to see this. How can I handle this properly?

try rewrite like this (remove "upload" first):

app.post('/', function (req, res) {
  upload(req, res, function (err) {
    if (err) {
        console.log("cs " + err);
      return
    }

    res.end('You new avatar is uploaded')
    // Everything went fine
  })
