• ⏱️ Configurable time windows
• 🔢 Multiple limit tiers
• 💾 Cache-backed storage (memory or persistent)
• ⚡ Optional async support

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
throttle-ro = "0.1"

Usage

Basic Example

use std::time::Duration;
use throttle_ro::ThrottlesService;
use cache_ro::Cache;

fn main() {
    let cache = Cache::new(Default::default()); // Configure properly in production
    let ip = "127.0.0.1".to_string();
    
    // Allow 5 requests per minute per IP
    let mut throttle = ThrottlesService::new(
        ip,
        5,
        Duration::from_secs(60),
        "api_"
    );

    if throttle.can_go(&cache) {
        throttle.hit(&cache);
        // Process request...
    } else {
        // Reject request
        println!("Rate limit exceeded!");
    }
}
