General purpose rate limiter that can be used to limit the rate at which certain operation can be performed. Default implementation uses Redis as backend.
 
## Installation

The preferred method of installation is via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Run the following
command to install the latest version of a package and add it to your project's `composer.json`:

```bash
composer require nikolaposa/rate-limit
```

## Usage

**Terminating rate limiter**

```php
use RateLimit\Exception\LimitExceeded;
use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;
use Redis;

$rateLimiter = new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perMinute(100), new Redis());

$apiKey = 'abc123';

try {
    $rateLimiter->limit($apiKey);
    
    //on success
} catch (LimitExceeded $exception) {
   //on limit exceeded
}
```

**Silent rate limiter**

```php
use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;
use Redis;

$rateLimiter = new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perMinute(100), new Redis());

$ipAddress = '192.168.1.2';
$status = $rateLimiter->limitSilently($ipAddress);

echo $status->getRemainingAttempts(); //99
```

**Practical usage with configuring multiple rate limiting strategies in a project**

```php
use RateLimit\Rate;
use RateLimit\RedisRateLimiter;

$container->set('rate_limiter.api', new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perSecond(10), $container->get('redis')));
$container->set('rate_limiter.videos', new RedisRateLimiter(Rate::perDay(5), $container->get('redis')));
```
