Increasing max file size

[Curtis Floth]

What is the proper way to increase the maximum file size allowed for file uploads? I'm currently seeing this result using the loopback-component-storage module:

{
    "error": {
        "name": "Error",
        "status": 413,
        "message": "request entity too large",
        "type": "entity.too.large",
        "statusCode": 413,
        "expected": 413740,
        "length": 413740,
        "limit": 102400
    }
}

Hey, 

I had a similar problem and solved it by adding the following to my server/server.js file:

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

Let me know if that helps

What’s the stack trace?

For json/urlencoded limit, it’s recommended to configure them in server/config.json as follows:

{

  “remoting”: {

   “json”: {“limit”: “50mb”},

   “urlencoded”: {“limit”: “50mb”, “extended”: true}

  }

}

Are you sending JSON data (Content-Type: application/json)? I thought you are trying to upload a file.

I'm getting the same error for my file uploads as well.  Here's the configs I'm using:

  "json": {

      "strict": false,

      "limit": "50mb"

    },

    "urlencoded": {

      "extended": true,

      "limit": "50mb"

    }

I'm uploading mp3 files that are 14mb to 15mb onto an S3 bucket.  Smaller files successfully upload.

Thanks,

I too was running into:

ERROR { [Error: request entity too large]

  cause: 

   { [Error: request entity too large]

     name: 'Error',

     status: 413,

     statusCode: 413,

     expected: 125798,

     length: 125798,

     limit: 102400 },

  isOperational: true,

  status: 413,

  statusCode: 413,

  expected: 125798,

  length: 125798,

  limit: 102400 }

And adding the following to config.json worked!

[Michael Blakeney]

Hi Pulkit,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I removed the "strict":false parameter like you suggested but still get the error.  I noticed that the error I'm getting is different than the one you were getting.  Here's my error:

[Error: maxFileSize exceeded, received 10502003 bytes of field data (max is 10485760)]

Any ideas?

By default, the storage component limits file sizes to 10mb you can set an option on the upload handler or storage datasource to increase it.

[Pisit Tangkoblarp]

You can set an option for this by add the line 

"maxFileSize": "52428800"

(52428800 is 50mb)

to your datasource.json file, like this:

"storageDS": {
   "name": "xxxxx",
   "connector": "loopback-component-storage",
   "provider": "azure",
   "storageAccount": "xxxxxxxx",
   "storageAccessKey": "xxxxxx",
   "maxFileSize": "52428800"
  }

[Pisit Tangkoblarp]

For Loopback team, please update this key and other keys (if any) to the storage component documentation (http://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/Storage+component).

I have to dig to the code to know this "maxFileSize" option key.

Thanks

Thanks, It worked for me.
