GCRA: A basic implementation

Library which implements the core GCRA functionality in rust.

Features

• rate-limiter a LRU + expiring rate limiter. Implements Send + Sync so can be used asynchronously.

Usage

use gcra::{GcraState, RateLimit};

fn check_rate_limit() {
  const LIMIT: u32 = 1;
  // Create a rate limit that allows `1/1s`
  let rate_limit = RateLimit::per_sec(LIMIT);

  let mut user_state = GcraState::default();
  assert!(user_state.check_and_modify(&rate_limit, 1).is_ok());
  assert!(
      user_state.check_and_modify(&rate_limit, 1).is_err(),
      "We should be over the limit now"
  );
}

With rate-limiter

use gcra::{GcraError, RateLimit, RateLimiter};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), GcraError> {
    let rate_limit = RateLimit::per_sec(2);
    let mut rl = RateLimiter::new(4);

    rl.check("key", rate_limit.clone(), 1).await?;
    rl.check("key", rate_limit.clone(), 1).await?;

    match rl.check("key", rate_limit.clone(), 1).await {
        Err(GcraError::DeniedUntil { next_allowed_at }) => {
            print!("Denied: Request next at {:?}", next_allowed_at);
            Ok(())
        }
        unexpected => panic!("Opps something went wrong! {:?}", unexpected),
    }
}
