dharmafly / connect-ratelimit Goto Github PK

Blacklists could disallow certain clients to connect or be subject to a different ratelimit rule.

By default the connect chain end with res.end("rate limit exceded") message if a client has surpassed their limit.

It would be useful to add an option to ignore this rule but this continue up the chain. The ratelimit information can be augmented onto the res object.

ie:

res.ratelimit = {
  exceeded: true,
  type: 'whitelist'
}

Hey,

State is held on the file level in this module. This is not a good strategy because it prevents using the module twice for different routes. It will also break should another piece of code in the app or in any of its dependencies also use this module. Under various circumstances two calls to require("connect-ratelimit") may end up with the same instance.

Cheers

I was totally lost on why my "categories" configuration was not working, and when I decided to look at the code, I realized there's no reference to that.

Please update npm version to match repo. I'll use a git commit fixed dependency for now, but that should help other users
