thanks bro. where we can get answer for that ?

@harmnprt Is this what you are looking for? How you set it?

app.use(multer({
  limits: {
    maxFileSize: <defaults to Infinity>
  }
}

[harmnprt]

this can't block the file that is bigger than limit. this store that file but crupted and size of file equals to maxFileSize. is it correct ?

[tsenmu]

As far as i understand, you are correct. The limit is supposed to truncate the size of the file instead of blocking files exceeding this limit. When the file exceeds the file size limit, the flag truncated in an file object should be set to true. As of now, this functionality has not been implemented. When the file starts to be uploaded, the truncated flag is null, the truncated flag will not be set to either to true or false whatsoever, but undefined for some reason. I think it is a feature has not been supported yet.

[harmnprt]

okk, is there have any other to limit on file, in server side over this ?

[tsenmu]

I think you can raise the fileSize in limit, detect the file size before file is uploaded, detect the file size when the data is being uploaded, and somehow halt the uploading once it exceeds the fileSize limit you desire. I tried but failed, do tell me if you succeed!

[harmnprt]

thanks for reply. trying if success giving you reply

Now you can add a handler for onFileSizeLimit to detect file size limit exceeds and take necessary action.

It doesn't seem to trigger onFileSizeLimit when limit is hit. At least for me. I could upload a sample if necessary.
