如何处理带有响应或自定义错误的“PayloadTooLargeError”？

Question

im trying to put a payload limit of 1kb using:

app.use(bodyParser.json({
 limit: "1kb" ,
 strict:true
       }));

its working perfectly as it suppose to work, but the only problem is i get an error of

PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large

at expressInit (E:\Work\FIGHTME\V1.0\api\node_modules\express\lib\middleware\init.js:40:5)

is there any way to handle this error through callback or anything so i show a custom error or send a custom response?

Answer 1

Have you tried like this

app.use(express.json({limit: '1kb'}));

Parsing request body as middleware is available in Express v4.16.0 onwards.
