## Description
Implementation of the [Governor](https://github.com/boinkor-net/governor.git) rate limiter for [Rocket](https://rocket.rs) web framework.
Rate limiting is used to control the rate requests are received and handled by an endpoint of the web application
or web service.
## Rocket specific features
Define as many rate limits with [Quota](https://docs.rs/governor/latest/governor/struct.Quota.html) of Governor
as you like and need in your Rocket web application/service.
It is implemented as a Rocket [Request Guard](https://rocket.rs/v0.5/guide/requests/#request-guards) and provides
also an implementation of an [Error Catcher](https://rocket.rs/v0.5/guide/requests/#error-catchers).
The Error Catcher can be registered on any path to handle [`Status::TooManyRequests`](https://api.rocket.rs/v0.5/rocket/http/struct.Status.html#associatedconstant.TooManyRequests) and provide HTTP headers in the response.
## Usage
Add dependencies to [rocket-governor](https://crates.io/crates/rocket-governor) crate to your _Cargo.toml_.
Implement `RocketGovernable` for a _guard struct_ as you like:
```rust
use rocket_governor::{Method, Quota, RocketGovernable, RocketGovernor};
pub struct RateLimitGuard;
impl<'r> RocketGovernable<'r> for RateLimitGuard {
fn quota(_method: Method, _route_name: &str) -> Quota {
Quota::per_second(Self::nonzero(1u32))
}
}
```
This requires to implement the method `fn quota(_: Method, _: &str) -> Quota`.
You can vary your `Quota` on any combination of __method__ and __route_name__, but the returned `Quota` should be a _static-like_. It should __not change__ between invocations of the `quota()`-method with equal parameters.
There is a small helper function `nonzero(u32)` for creating Quotas in your `quota()`-implementation e.g.:
```rust
Quota::per_second(Self::nonzero(1u32))
```
After implementing the minimal requirements of trait `RocketGovernable` you can add your _Guard_ to your route-methods like:
```rust
#[get("/")]
fn route_test(_limitguard: RocketGovernor) -> Status {
Status::Ok
}
```
### Register Catcher
To handle HTTP Status 429 TooManyRequests there is an catcher-function implementation.
It is __called__ __`rocket_governor_catcher`__.
Register it with `register(, )`-method of Rocket:
```rust
use rocket_governor::rocket_governor_catcher;
#[launch]
fn launch_rocket() -> _ {
rocket::build()
.mount("/", routes![route_test])
.register("/", catchers!(rocket_governor_catcher))
}
```
### Optional feature __limit_info__
There is the optional feature __limit_info__ which enables reporting about
rate limits in HTTP headers of requests.
The implementation is based on headers of
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpapi-ratelimit-headers
The feature provides a default implementation of a Rocket fairing
which need to be used to get the HTTP headers set.
See API documentation for [LimitHeaderGen](https://docs.rs/rocket-governor/latest/rocket_governor/struct.LimitHeaderGen.html).
For usage depend on it in Cargo.toml
```toml
[dependencies]
rocket-governor = { version = "...", features = ["limit_info"] }
```
### Optional feature __logger__
There is the optional feature __logger__ which enables some logging output.
For usage depend on it in Cargo.toml
```toml
[dependencies]
rocket-governor = { version = "...", features = ["logger"] }
```
