kork v0.1.0

kork

A crude rate limiter for node. A work in progress. Very experimental. Not suitable for production (or anything really).

install

$ npm i kork

wat?

• Checks a global ts on each request
• If rate has not passed since last execution - makes current request wait for rate ms

usage

// require and set rate in ms
var kork = require('kork')(2500);
// use in express
app.use([path,] kork);
// use in pype stack
pype(null, [klocka, kork, getData, finalhandler])(req, res);

old API

Keeping this for the records

kork.init(rate) // sets new ts and applys rate limit in ms
kork.reset() // sets/overwrites ts
kork.limit() // checks ts

todos

• add tests
• probably needs some kind of global queue
