Usage

Terminating rate limiter

use RateLimit\Exception\LimitExceeded;
use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;
use Redis;

$rateLimiter = new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perMinute(100), new Redis());

$apiKey = 'abc123';

try {
    $rateLimiter->limit($apiKey);
    
    //on success
} catch (LimitExceeded $exception) {
   //on limit exceeded
}

Silent rate limiter

use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;
use Redis;

$rateLimiter = new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perMinute(100), new Redis());

$ipAddress = '192.168.1.2';
$status = $rateLimiter->limitSilently($ipAddress);

echo $status->getRemainingAttempts(); //99

Practical usage with configuring multiple rate limiting strategies in a project

use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;

$container->set('rate_limiter.api', new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perSecond(10), $container->get('redis')));
$container->set('rate_limiter.videos', new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perDay(5), $container->get('redis')));
