# FyreRateLimiter

**FyreRateLimiter** is a free, open-source rate limiting library for *PHP*.

## Installation

**Using Composer**

```
composer require fyre/ratelimiter
```

In PHP:

```php
use Fyre\Security\RateLimiter;
```

## Basic Usage

- `$container` is a [*Container*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreContainer).
- `$cacheManager` is a [*CacheManager*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreCache).
- `$options` is an array containing options for the *RateLimiter*.
- `cacheConfig` is a string representing the configuration key for the [*Cache*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreCache), and will default to "*ratelimiter*".
- `limit` is a number representing the maximum number of requests that can be made within the period, and will default to *60*.
- `period` is a number representing the number of seconds per rate limiting period, and will default to *60*.
- `message` is a string representing the rate limit error message, and will default to "*Rate limit exceeded*".
- `headers` is an array containing the rate limit headers.
- `limit` is a string representing the rate limit header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Limit*".
- `remaining` is a string representing the rate limit remaining header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Remaining*".
- `reset` is a string representing the rate limit reset header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Reset*".
- `identifier` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) as the first argument, and should return a string representing the client identifier.
- `skipCheck` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) as the first argument, and can return *true* to skip rate limit checks for the request.
- `errorRenderer` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) and a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses) as the arguments, and should return a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses).

```php
$limiter = new RateLimiter($container, $cacheManager, $options);
```

If the `cacheConfig` doesn't exist in the [*CacheManager*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreCache), a default [*FileCacher*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreCache#file) will be created instead.

If the `identifier` callback is omitted, it will default to using the `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']`.

If the `errorRenderer` callback is omitted, it will default to negotiating a json or plaintext response containing the `message` option.

**Autoloading**

Any dependencies will be injected automatically when loading from the [*Container*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreContainer).

```php
$limiter = $container->use(RateLimiter::class, ['options' => $options]);
```

## Methods

**Add Headers**

Add rate limit headers to a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses).

- `$response` is a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses).

```php
$response = $limiter->addHeaders($response);
```

**Check Limit**

Determine whether the rate limit has been reached for a request.

- `$request` is the [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests).

```php
$result = $limiter->checkLimit($request);
```

**Error Response**

Generate an error response.

- `$request` is the [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests).

```php
$response = $limiter->errorResponse($request);
```

## Middleware

```php
use Fyre\Security\Middleware\RateLimiterMiddleware;
```

- `$container` is a [*Container*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreContainer).
- `$options` is an array containing options for the *RateLimiter*.
- `cacheConfig` is a string representing the configuration key for the [*Cache*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreCache), and will default to "*ratelimiter*".
- `limit` is a number representing the maximum number of requests that can be made within the period, and will default to *60*.
- `period` is a number representing the number of seconds per rate limiting period, and will default to *60*.
- `message` is a string representing the rate limit error message, and will default to "*Rate limit exceeded*".
- `headers` is an array containing the rate limit headers.
- `limit` is a string representing the rate limit header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Limit*".
- `remaining` is a string representing the rate limit remaining header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Remaining*".
- `reset` is a string representing the rate limit reset header, and will default to "*X-RateLimit-Reset*".
- `identifier` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) as the first argument, and should return a string representing the client identifier.
- `skipCheck` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) as the first argument, and can return *true* to skip rate limit checks for the request.
- `errorRenderer` is a *Closure* that accepts a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests) and a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses) as the arguments, and should return a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses).

```php
$middleware = new RateLimiterMiddleware($container, $options);
```

Any dependencies will be injected automatically when loading from the [*Container*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreContainer).

```php
$middleware = $container->build(RateLimiterMiddleware::class, ['options' => $options]);
```

**Handle**

Handle a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests).

- `$request` is a [*ServerRequest*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#server-requests).
- `$next` is a *Closure*.

```php
$response = $middleware->handle($request, $next);
```

This method will return a [*ClientResponse*](https://github.com/elusivecodes/FyreServer#client-responses).
