`opuntia` is a basic set of tools for traffic shaping for erlang and elixir

It implements the [token bucket algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket).

There are two ways to use it, checking availability a priori or accepting a penalisation.

After creating a bucket

```erl

Bucket = opuntia:new(#{bucket_size => 10, rate => 1, time_unit => millisecond, start_full => true}),

```

you can either consume all tokens queued and see the suggested delay, considering that this might

allow you to consume at once much more than the bucket size:

```erl

{NewShaper, Delay} = opuntia:update(Shaper, 50),

timer:sleep(Delay), %% Will suggest to sleep 40ms

```

or you can first how many tokens are available for you to consume before doing so:

```erl

Allowed = opuntia:peek(Shaper),

consume_tokens(Allowed),

{NewShaper, 0} = opuntia:update(Shaper), %% Will suggest no delay if you were diligent and consume less that adviced

```
