1. RatePerSecond (example usage: clicks per second)

import { RatePerSecond } from 'rate-per-time-unit';

clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03
clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03

clickRate.getRatePerSecond(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03 -> 2.67
clickRate.getRatePerSecond(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:04 -> 2

clickRate.getRatePerSecond(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06 -> 0

clickRate.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06

clickRate.getRatePerSecond(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06 -> 0.67

2. RatePerMinute (example usage: heartbeats per minute)

import { RatePerMinute } from 'rate-per-time-unit';

const heartbeat = new RatePerMinute({ slidingWindow: 3 }); // 3 seconds

heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:02
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03
heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03

heartbeat.getRatePerMinute(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:03 -> 160
heartbeat.getRatePerMinute(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:04 -> 120
heartbeat.getRatePerMinute(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:05 -> 40
heartbeat.getRatePerMinute(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06 -> 0

heartbeat.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06

heartbeat.getRatePerMinute(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:06 -> 40

3. RatePerHour (example usage: network requests per hour)

import { RatePerHour } from 'rate-per-time-unit';

const networkRequests = new RatePerHour({ slidingWindow: 3 }); // 3 minutes

networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:01:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:01:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:01:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:02:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:02:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:02:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:03:01
networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:03:01

networkRequests.getRatePerHour(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:04:01 -> 160
networkRequests.getRatePerHour(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:05:01 -> 120
networkRequests.getRatePerHour(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:06:01 -> 40
networkRequests.getRatePerHour(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01 -> 0

networkRequests.registerEvent(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01

networkRequests.getRatePerHour(); // at Tue Aug 27 2024 14:07:01 -> 40

Options

Type: Object

slidingWindow

Type: Integer

The slidingWindow option configures the number of time units (seconds or minutes) that are considered in calculating the event rate. You can choose this value as below:

• Higher Value: A higher slidingWindow will average the events over a longer period, which can smooth out spikes and give a more stable long-term rate.

• Lower Value: A lower slidingWindow will be more sensitive to recent changes in the event rate, making it more responsive to short-term fluctuations.

Default: RatePerSecond: 5, RatePerMinute: 6, RatePerHour: 10

Min: RatePerSecond: 1 , RatePerMinute: 1 , RatePerHour: 1

Max: RatePerSecond: 20, RatePerMinute: 120, RatePerHour: 120

Note that RatePerSecond and RatePerMinute take seconds, wherease RatePerHour takes minutes in slidingWindow option.
