Level TokenThrottle

NPM

A LevelDb-backed implementation of tokenthrottle

Simply wraps tokenthrottle with a Level back-end.

If you want to use it with multiple processes/servers, provide it a multilevel connection.

Level:

// Create a level client
var db = require("level")(./throttle)
 
// Create a throttle with 100 access limit per second.
var throttle = require("tokenthrottle-level")({rate: 100}, db)
 
// in some_function that you want to rate limit
  throttle.rateLimit(id, function (err, limited) {
    /* ... handle err ... */
    if (limited) {
      return res.next(new Error("Rate limit exceeded, please slow down."));
    }
    else {
      /* ... do work ... */
    }
  })
 

Multilevel:

// multilevel server code...
// In your multilevel server, make sure you have the same sublevel that will be used
// either the default "levelThrottle" or the `prefix` you specify.
// Then you must create a manifest for the clients so they know they may use it.
var sub = sublevel(db).sublevel("levelThrottle")
var settings = require("level-manifest")(db)
// save your settings somewhere
 
// client code...
 
// Create a multilevel client
var multilevel = require("multilevel")
var net = require("net")
var db = multilevel.client(settings)
var con = net.connect(3000)
con.pipe(db.createRpcStream()).pipe(con)
 
// Create a throttle with 100 access limit per second.
var throttle = require("tokenthrottle-level")({rate: 100}, db)
 
// in some_function that you want to rate limit
  throttle.rateLimit(id, function (err, limited) {
    /* ... handle err ... */
    if (limited) {
      return res.next(new Error("Rate limit exceeded, please slow down."));
    }
    else {
      /* ... do work ... */
    }
  })
