how to get node.js body-parser complaining about payload being too large

so I have a post route and the payload is a json.

It has a number of fields and one is a base64 encoded string corresponding to a large png file.

the error I get is 

PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large
    at readStream (/Users/reza.razavipour/Projects/s3uploader/node_modules/raw-body/index.js:155:17)
    at getRawBody (/Users/reza.razavipour/Projects/s3uploader/node_modules/raw-body/index.js:108:12)
    at read (/Users/reza.razavipour/Projects/s3uploader/node_modules/body-parser/lib/read.js:77:3)

how do I get around this limitation?

In the future I will have to process very large many Gbs zip files...

According to documentation there is a limit option one can pass to the json parser in order to configure the body limit.

limit

Controls the maximum request body size. If this is a number, then the value specifies the number of bytes; if it is a string, the value is passed to the bytes library for parsing. Defaults to '100kb'.

Something like this for 100 megabytes:

bodyParser.json({ limit: '100mb' })
