Description

There is often a need to apply ratelimits to protect a network from excessive traffic levels on connections routed through it. This package offers two different techniques in the same implementation: the simple Token Bucket, and the more complex Leaky Bucket.

Features

• Written in TypeScript
• Bundled with Rollup so it can be used in NodeJS and browsers
• Offers CommonJS, ESM and UMD bundles
• Fully tested

Installation

You can use the following command to install this package, or replace npm install with your package manager of choice.

npm install @sapphire/ratelimits

Usage

Note: While this section uses require, the imports match 1:1 with ESM imports. For example const { Bucket } = require('@sapphire/ratelimits') equals import { Bucket } from '@sapphire/ratelimits'.

Token Bucket

// Import the Bucket class
const { Bucket } = require('@sapphire/ratelimits');

// Define a bucket with 1 usage every 5 seconds
const bucket = new Bucket().setDelay(5000);

console.log(bucket.take(420)); // -> 0
console.log(bucket.take(420)); // -> 5000

Leaky Bucket

// Import the Bucket class
const { Bucket } = require('@sapphire/ratelimits');

// Define a bucket with 2 usages every 5 seconds
const bucket = new Bucket().setLimit({ timespan: 5000, maximum: 2 });

console.log(bucket.take(420)); // -> 0
console.log(bucket.take(420)); // -> 0
console.log(bucket.take(420)); // -> 5000
