posting a file using multipart-form

[brandonbryant12]

What would you like to discuss?

I am trying send a POST with a large json object and need to avoid nginx's default requirement for body size to be under 1mb.

So I am trying to send a request with the JSON object and attach it as a file.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Is it possible to send a request with content-type being multipart/form-data and attaching a file only?

      const form = new FormData();
      form.append('files', Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(body)), {
         contentType: 'text/plain',
         filename: 'json.data',
      });
      const options = {
         method: 'POST',
         url: `${apiEndpoint}/example`,
         body: form,
      };
