README
This package allows you to easily create and validate rate limiting using the fixed window algorithm.
This package makes use of Redis' atomic requests.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require beyondcode/laravel-fixed-window-limiter
Usage
You can create a new limiter instance by calling the create
method and pass it a CarbonInterval that represents the window of time, that will be used for the limiter.
The second argument is the maximum number of requests/attempts that your limiter will accept in that given time frame.
$limiter = FixedWindowLimiter::create(CarbonInterval::second(2), 2);
Running attempts against your limiter
Once your limiter is created, you can perform attempts against it to see if the call is within the usage limits that you specified.
Since your limiter can be used for multiple resources, you need to pass the resource that you want to attempt the call for in the attempt
method call.
$limiter->attempt('user_1');
Getting the usage count
When you want to read the number of attempts that were made for a given resource, you may call the getUsage
method.
Note: This method will not return the number of attempts, but only the number of successful attempts. Use the getRealUsage
method, if you want to see all attempts, including those that were rejected.
$count = $limiter->getUsage('user_1');
Or as mentioned, to get the real usage of all attempts for the resource:
$count = $limiter->getRealUsage('user_1');
Reset the limiter
If you want to reset the attempts for a specific resource, you may call the reset
method on the limiter instance. This will reset the TTL to the given time frame and re-allow new attempts.
$limiter->reset('user_1');
Additional data
Sometimes you might want to store additional data inside of the resource hash in Redis. You can pass the initial data to the reset
method.
$limiter->reset('user_1', [ 'key' => 'value' ]);
In order to retrieve the data, you may use the getAdditionalData
method.
$value = $limiter->getAdditionalData('user_1', 'key');
