| -For now this only provides `throttle` and `pThrottle` lua scripts. |
| 10 | +Provides `throttle` and `pThrottle` lua scripts for [RediBox](https://github.com/redibox/core) redis clients. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### Installation |
| 13 | +--- |
| 14 | +```bash |
| 15 | +npm i redibox-hook-throttle --save |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +No configuration required. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### API |
| 21 | +--- |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### client.throttle(key, limit, seconds) |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +**Args**: |
| 26 | + - **key** - key name - ip, user id or some unique key to throttle X by |
| 27 | + - **limit** - limit amount, e.g. '20' requests |
| 28 | + - **seconds** - ttl in secondsof this limit, i.e, '60' - 20 requests per 60 seconds. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +**Returns**: |
| 31 | + - ARRAY |
| 32 | + - **[0] throttled**: -> 1 if you should throttle/reject this request, 0 if still within limit |
| 33 | + - **[1] remaining**: -> how many times left until throttled, i.e. 11 requests left |
| 34 | + - **[2] ttl**: -> seconds remaining until limit resets |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +**Example**: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +In this example we have an express api server and we want to limit each user to no more than 10 requests per minute. We can use throttle in a middleware to achieve this. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```javascript |
| 42 | +const app = express(); |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +app.use((req, res, next) => { |
| 45 | + RediBox.client |
| 46 | + .throttle( |
| 47 | + // key based on user id for uniqueness or some other identifier |
| 48 | + `throttle:${req.param('userId')}`, |
| 49 | + // 10 requests |
| 50 | + 10, |
| 51 | + // per 60 seconds |
| 52 | + 60 |
| 53 | + ).then((result) => { |
| 54 | + const throttled = result[0]; |
| 55 | + const remainingRequests = result[1]; |
| 56 | + const expiresInSeconds = result[2]; |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + if (throttled) { |
| 59 | + return res.status(429).json({ |
| 60 | + msg: `You have made too many requests recently, please try again in ${expiresInSeconds} seconds.`, |
| 61 | + }); |
| 62 | + } |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + // if we want it later on in the request |
| 65 | + req.throttle = { |
| 66 | + remainingRequests, |
| 67 | + expiresInSeconds |
| 68 | + }; |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + // we're all good here so allow user to continue |
| 71 | + next(); |
| 72 | + }).catch(next); |
| 73 | +}); |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### client.pthrottle(key, limit, milliseconds) |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +`pThrottle` is exactly the same as `throttle` but uses millisecond precision instead of seconds. |
