getting Error: request entity too large error when i send base64 image in mean js

Question

I am getting an error when I send base64 image in post call at server side.

I am using

var send_item = {
    lottreyId: data.data.id,
    title: item.title,
    merchant: item_val.merchant.id,
    value: item_val.value,
    description: item_val.description,
    image: base64
};
$http.post('/api/lottrey_item',
{
    send_item
}).then(function (data)
{
    console.log(data);
}, function (err)
{
    console.log(err);
    reject();
});

I can't use form data for send image, also, I can't use ng-file-upload.

When I use form data I can't get data in req.data parameter.

Can I use any alternative way to save an image in a temp folder in my project directory?

Answer 1

You should change the maximum request body size of express-bodyparser in your /config/lib/express.js. In the following line:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true
}));

Change it to (and adjust the limit value if needed):

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true,
    limit: '50mb'
}));

I can't test right now but it should do the trick.

Answer 2

Try app.use(bodyParser.json({ extended: true, limit: '50mb' }));

You ar using a JSON request, so you should specify the limit for bodyParser.json, not bodyParser.urlencoded .
