Increasing Body 1mb limit
Hey, Im trying to build an application that allows sending of base64 encoded files to my next.js server through TRPC. I read online that the only currently supported way to do that is by base64 encoding and then shipping it over through JSON. Is there a way to increase the default 1mb limit on post requests? For my purposes 2-4MB would be more than enough But i am expecting a few at > 1mb filesize.

That limit will likely be from whatever web server is hosting your tRPC api
This isn’t really the best way to send files around though, you can end up essentially DDOS’ing yourself
Right now the best production ready way is to use a file host and have the frontend upload or download from that, the API just generates secure links
We do have an experimental Form Data implementation but it’s going to change a lot
gotcha, so if i'm using next/js the issue is somewhere withing my next/js config, not TRPC
this also isnt for production more for a hackathon style project. Its not going to be hosted. I just have a few files over 1mb that I'd like to be able to upload

This might help, though it’s not any more documented than that right now
