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 limiter for Node.js backed by Redis.

NOTE: Promise version available at async-ratelimiter.

Build Status

Release Notes

v3.4.1 - #55 by @barwin - Remove splice operation.

v3.3.1 - #51 - Remove tidy option as it's always true.

v3.3.0 - #47 by @penghap - Add tidy option to clean old records upon saving new records. Drop support in node 4.

v3.2.0 - #44 by @xdmnl - Return accurate reset time for each limited call.

v3.1.0 - #40 by @ronjouch - Add reset milliseconds to the result object.

v3.0.2 - #33 by @promag - Use sorted set to limit with moving window.

v2.2.0 - #30 by @kp96 - Race condition when using async.times.

v2.1.3 - #22 by @coderhaoxin - Dev dependencies versions bump.

v2.1.2 - #17 by @waleedsamy - Add Travis CI support.

v2.1.1 - #13 by @kwizzn - Fixes out-of-sync TTLs after running decr().

v2.1.0 - #12 by @luin - Adding support for ioredis.

v2.0.1 - #9 by @ruimarinho - Update redis commands to use array notation.

v2.0.0 - API CHANGE - Change remaining to include current call instead of decreasing it. Decreasing caused an off-by-one problem and caller could not distinguish between last legit call and a rejected call.

Requirements

  • Redis 2.6.12+
  • Node 6.0.0+

Installation

$ npm install ratelimiter

Example

Example Connect middleware implementation limiting against a user._id:

var id = req.user._id;
var limit = new Limiter({ id: id, db: db });
limit.get(function(err, limit){
  if (err) return next(err);

  res.set('X-RateLimit-Limit', limit.total);
  res.set('X-RateLimit-Remaining', limit.remaining - 1);
  res.set('X-RateLimit-Reset', limit.reset);

  // all good
  debug('remaining %s/%s %s', limit.remaining - 1, limit.total, id);
  if (limit.remaining) return next();

  // not good
  var delta = (limit.reset * 1000) - Date.now() | 0;
  var after = limit.reset - (Date.now() / 1000) | 0;
  res.set('Retry-After', after);
  res.send(429, 'Rate limit exceeded, retry in ' + ms(delta, { long: true }));
});

Result Object

  • total - max value
  • remaining - number of calls left in current duration without decreasing current get
  • reset - time since epoch in seconds at which the rate limiting period will end (or already ended)
  • resetMs - time since epoch in milliseconds at which the rate limiting period will end (or already ended)

Options

  • id - the identifier to limit against (typically a user id)
  • db - redis connection instance
  • max - max requests within duration [2500]
  • duration - of limit in milliseconds [3600000]
