File upload scenarios with 413 Payload Too Large scenarios in Express.js - best practices for?
I've spent hours debugging this and I'm writing unit tests and I'm having a hard time understanding I'm working on a personal project and I tried several approaches but none seem to work..... I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm currently working on an Express.js application using version 4.17.1 and I'm working with an scenario when trying to upload files. When I attempt to upload a file larger than 10MB, I receive a `413 Payload Too Large` behavior. I suspect this is related to the body parser middleware I'm using. Here's the code where I'm setting up the middleware for file uploads: ```javascript const express = require('express'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); const app = express(); // Set limit to 10mb app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '10mb' })); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ limit: '10mb', extended: true })); app.post('/upload', (req, res) => { // logic to handle file upload console.log(req.body); res.send('File uploaded successfully!'); }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Server is running on port 3000'); }); ``` I’ve tried increasing the limit in the `body-parser` middleware to `50mb` to see if that resolves the scenario but I continue to receive the same behavior. I've also checked the Nginx configuration since I am using it as a reverse proxy, but the client_max_body_size is set to 50mb there as well. ```nginx server { listen 80; server_name myapp.com; client_max_body_size 50M; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; } } ``` I even restarted both the Express server and Nginx after making these changes. Is there something I am missing, or perhaps a different approach I should use for handling file uploads? Any insights on resolving this would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu. How would you solve this? My development environment is Windows. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. My team is using Javascript for this service. What am I doing wrong? This is happening in both development and production on Debian. Any examples would be super helpful.
