The "request entity too large" error in Express.js typically occurs when the size of the request body exceeds the default limit set by the body-parser middleware or the built-in express.json() or express.urlencoded() middleware
The default size for express.json() and body-parser is 100kb
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
// Increase JSON body size limit (e.g., 50mb)
app.use(express.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
// Increase URL-encoded body size limit (e.g., 50mb)
app.use(express.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
// Increase the body size limit
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '50mb' }));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '50mb', extended: true }));
