# A RateLimiter handles HTTP rate limits for controller actions. Rate limits are # based on the user, the user's IP, and the controller action. # # A RateLimiter is backed by RateLimit objects stored in the database, which # track the rate limits with a token bucket algorithm. A RateLimiter object # usually has two RateLimits, one for the current user and one for their IP. # # @see RateLimit # @see ApplicationController#check_rate_limit # @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket class RateLimiter class RateLimitError < StandardError; end attr_reader :action, :keys, :cost, :rate, :burst def initialize(action, keys = ["*"], cost: 1, rate: 1, burst: 1) @action = action @keys = keys @cost = cost @rate = rate @burst = burst end # Create a RateLimiter object for the current controller, action, user, and # IP.
