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 🙏

Rate limit made simple, easy, async. Based on ratelimiter.

Usage

A simple middleware implementation for whatever HTTP server:

'use strict'

const RateLimiter = require('async-ratelimiter')
const { getClientIp } = require('request-ip')
const Redis = require('ioredis')

const rateLimiter = new RateLimiter({
  db: new Redis()
})

const apiQuota = async (req, res, next) => {
  const clientIp = getClientIp(req)
  const limit = await rateLimiter.get({ id: clientIp })

  if (!res.writableEnded) {
    res.setHeader('X-Rate-Limit-Limit', limit.total)
    res.setHeader('X-Rate-Limit-Remaining', Math.max(0, limit.remaining - 1))
    res.setHeader('X-Rate-Limit-Reset', limit.reset)
  }

  return !limit.remaining
    ? sendFail({
        req,
        res,
        code: HTTPStatus.TOO_MANY_REQUESTS,
        message: MESSAGES.RATE_LIMIT_EXCEDEED()
      })
    : next(req, res)
}

options

db

Required Type: object

The redis connection instance.

max

Type: number Default: 2500

The maximum number of requests within duration.

duration

Type: number Default: 3600000

How long keep records of requests in milliseconds.

namespace

Type: string Default: 'limit'

The prefix used for compound the key.

id

Type: string

The identifier to limit against (typically a user id).

You can pass this value using when you use .get method as well.

.get(options)

Given an id, returns a Promise with the status of the limit with the following structure:

  • total: max value.
  • remaining: number of calls left in current duration without decreasing current get.
  • reset: time since epoch in seconds that the rate limiting period will end (or already ended).

options

id

Type: string Default: this.id

The identifier to limit against (typically a user id).

max

Type: number Default: this.max

The maximum number of requests within duration. If provided, it overrides the default max value. This is useful for custom limits that differ between IDs.
