`PayloadTooLargeError` if arena is initialized before bodyParser with higher size limit
If arena is added to an existing express application with a body parser initialized with a higher size limit, that size limit is not respected and a PayloadTooLargeError
is thrown.
Example:
app.use(arena);
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '5mb' }));
If a request body is larger than then default limit (I guess it is 100KB), a PayloadTooLargeError
is thrown.
This works though:
app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '5mb' }));
app.use(arena);
This is related to this https://github.com/expressjs/express/issues/1772.
If a sub-route is mounted to the root app, the middlewares are overridden, thus the bodyparser in arena overrides the middleware in the application.
One solution would be to mount arena in a subroute, but we can't do that due to this issue: https://github.com/bee-queue/arena/issues/105
