NextJS Handling binary data

hey, how do you change the body parser in nextjs? I am trying to handle raw binary file POST requests

I am currently doing

const handler = async (req: ImgRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  res.status(200).send("OK");

  const buff = Buffer.from(req.body);
  console.log(req.headers);

  fs.writeFileSync("G:/dump/image.jpg", buff);
};

export default handler;

export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: {
      type: "image/jpeg",
      limit: "1mb",
    },
  },
};

const handler = async (req: ImgRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  res.status(200).send("OK");

  const buff = Buffer.from(req.body);
  console.log(req.headers);

  fs.writeFileSync("G:/dump/image.jpg", buff);
};

export default handler;

export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: {
      type: "image/jpeg",
      limit: "1mb",
    },
  },
};

I think you can just set the bodyParse to false

export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: false,
  },
}

export const config = {
  api: {
    bodyParser: false,
  },
}

but would it be body parser causing all those issues?
