For an updated solution that isn't deprecated, you can add the limit like so, in your app.js file:

app.use(express.json({limit: '2mb'}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '2mb', extended: false}));

You can also do it like this:

app.use(express.json({limit: 2000000}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: 2000000, extended: false}));
