Limit formdata file size

How can I limit file upload size?

Hello, there are multiple ways to approach this:

• Specify a global max_body_length when creating the HyperExpress.Server instance to restrict global Request body size.
• Specify a route-specific max_body_length when creating the route with options to restrict that specific route's body size.
• Specify a custom limit within the BusboyConfig.limits options when calling Request.multipart(config) to specify a custom limiter within the multipart parser itself.

Overall, I would recommend handling this at the Server/Route level since then HyperExpress will gracefully flush any incoming additional data and handle closing of the request for you for oversized requests.

If I want to restrict size for certain fields, is my only option Request.multipart(config)?

PS: seems like BusboyConfig has no typescript types
