Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ioredis-ratelimit

Generic rate limiter on top of ioredis.

Supports

  • Minimal difference between requests.
  • Batch actions.
  • Three levels of gratuitousness towards capped attempts.

Install

$ npm i ioredis-ratelimit --save

Usage

var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')(options);

ratelimit().then(...).catch(...); // when key is string
ratelimit(id).then(...).catch(...); // when key is function
ratelimit(id, numActions).then(...).catch(...); // when key is function and batch actions are requested
ratelimit(numActions).then(...).catch(...); // when key is string

ratelimit.get().then(...); // return current size

Options

  • client: {Object} client of ioredis.
  • limit: {Number} max amount of calls in duration, default 1.
  • duration: {Number} duration in millisecond, default 1000.
  • difference: {Number} duration between each operation in millisecond, default 0.
  • key: {String|Function} ratelimiter's key.
  • mode: {String} binary, nary, and uniform, default binary.
  • error: {Error} throw when reach limit.

Examples

simple:

var Redis = require('ioredis');
var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')({
  client: new Redis(),
  key: 'limiter',
  limit: 3,
  duration: 1000,
  difference: 0, // allow no interval between requests
});

ratelimit().then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 3, remaining: 2 }
ratelimit().then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 3, remaining: 1 }
ratelimit().then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 3, remaining: 0 }
ratelimit().then(console.log).catch(console.error); // 429 - [Error: Exceeded the limit]

ratelimit.get().then(console.log) // { total: 3, remaining: 0, retryAfterMS: 1000 }

Express:

'use strict';

var app = require('express')();
var Redis = require('ioredis');
var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')({
  client: new Redis(),
  key: function (req) {
    return 'limiter:' + req.user._id;
  },

  // 10 requests are allowed in 1s
  limit: 10,
  duration: 1000,

  // there should be at least 10ms interval between requests 
  difference: 10,
});

// ...

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  ratelimit(req)
    .then(function () {
      next();
    })
    .catch(next);
});

app.get('/', function () {});

// ...

Batch actions

Binary

Binary mode is as straightforward as any other rate limiter.

var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')({
  client: new Redis(),
  key: 'limiter',
  limit: 5,
  duration: 3000,
  mode: 'binary',
  error: new Error('Exceeded the limit')
});

ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 2, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 3 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 4, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 1 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // 429 - [Error: Exceeded the limit]

N-ary

N-ary mode will try the best to fill up the bucket where partial saves are possible.

var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')({
  client: new Redis(),
  key: 'limiter',
  limit: 5,
  duration: 3000,
  mode: 'nary',
  error: new Error('Exceeded the limit')
});

ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 2, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 3 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 4, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 1 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 5, acknowledged: 1, remaining: 0 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // 429 - [Error: Exceeded the limit]

Uniform

Uniform mode will save all attempts when there's at least one slot.

var ratelimit = require('ioredis-ratelimit')({
  client: new Redis(),
  key: 'limiter',
  limit: 5,
  duration: 3000,
  mode: 'uniform',
  error: new Error('Exceeded the limit')
});

ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 2, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 3 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 4, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 1 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // { total: 6, acknowledged: 2, remaining: 0 }
ratelimit(2).then(console.log).catch(console.error); // 429 - [Error: Exceeded the limit]
