bedrock-request-limiter

A [bedrock][] module that adds HTTP(S) request limiting to [bedrock-express][]
to, for example, help mitigate DoS attacks.

bedrock-request-limiter is built using [redback][].

Requirements

- npm v3+

Quick Examples

``
npm install bedrock-request-limiter
`

Request limiting is controlled via the configuration system; simply include
bedrock-request-limiter and set the maximum number of requests per IP per
hour to allow.


`js
var bedrock = require('bedrock');

require('bedrock-server');
require('bedrock-express');
require('bedrock-request-limiter');

// limit number of requests per hour per IP address (0 means no limit)
bedrock.config.limiter.ipRequestsPerHour = 3600;

bedrock.start();
``
