PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large when trying to POST to apostrophe-headless API

See original GitHub issue

I am using apostrophe-headless, and my payloads are slightly big since I am storing images as base64 strings, so some of the requests fail with this:

I tried setting apostrophe-express.bodyParser to {limit: '50mb', extended: true}, but that doesn’t seem to work.

Any ideas on how to increase the request size limit?

This seems to have worked:

bodyParser = {
  json: {limit: '50mb', extended: true},
  urlencoded: {limit: '50mb', extended: true}
};

better use (you can change the limit of data as you wish - for example 10mb):

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: ‘10mb’, extended: true})) app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: ‘10mb’, extended: true}))
