Node.js Express. Large body for bodyParser

Question

I use Express.js ver 4.2 and want to parse a large post (150K - 1M) but receives the error message "request entity too large". It seems that the limit is 100 K. I don't now how to change the limit in Express 4. In Express 3.x I just did -

app.use(express.json({limit: '5mb'})); app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '5mb'})); 

How can I change the limit in Express 4 ?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

With Express 4 you have to install the body-parser module and use that instead:

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');  // ...  app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '5mb'})); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '5mb'})); 

Answer 2

Mscdex's code works, but we should add another parameter to avoid warning now.

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '5mb', extended: true}));
