Express error: request entity too large

I created a new post with too much content, and express started throwing errors.

Saving Failed!

I inspect in to it and its related to express data post limit. I have to change the file core/server/middleware/index.js to make it work

// Body parsing
    blogApp.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
    blogApp.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true, limit: '50mb'}));

Is there a better way to set limit via config.js ??

It would be nice to have a dedicated setting instead of having to manually change that lines.

I know 1mb is a reasonable limit for textual content, but I plan to add a few base64-encoded pictures in my posts. In such scenario, that limit could be too low.

@ErisDS I also thought that my nginx was causing the problem, but as I started debugging, it as not nginx. Nginx has no error logs, and the max-post size was already 100mb there.

Here is the post which was causing the problem in creation. Everything got fixed after I have added added 2 lines of code mentioned above.

@ErisDS I think you misread the limit size, its 100kb not 100mb on https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser#limit
