max requests withinduration
[2500]duration
of limit in milliseconds [3600000]id
id to compare requests [ip]
Example
var ratelimiter = require('koa-ratelimiter').redisRateLimit;

var app = koa();
// apply rate limit
app.use(ratelimiter({
db: redis.createClient(),
duration: 60000,
max: 100,
id: function (context) {
return context.ip;
}
}));
// response middleware
app.use(function *(){
this.body = 'Stuff!';
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');
memoryRateLimit
This mode uses the memoryAdapter of node-ratelimiter. It should only be used in development.
Options

var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
// apply rate limit
app.use(ratelimiter({}));
// response middleware
app.use(function *(){
this.body = 'Stuff!';
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');

var app = koa();
var myCustomAdapter = require('./myCustomAdapter');
// apply rate limit
app.use(ratelimiter(myCustomAdapter)({
duration: 60000,
max: 100,
id: function (context) {
return context.ip;
}
}));
// response middleware
