README
Hammer
A rate-limiter for Elixir, with pluggable storage backends.
New! Hammer-Plug
We've just released a new helper-library to make adding rate-limiting to your Phoenix (or other plug-based) application even easier: Hammer.Plug.
Installation
Hammer is available in Hex, the package can be installed
by adding :hammer to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:hammer, "~> 6.1"}
]
end
Documentation
On HexDocs: https://hexdocs.pm/hammer/frontpage.html
The Tutorial is an especially good place to start.
Usage
Example:
defmodule MyApp.VideoUpload do
def upload(video_data, user_id) do
case Hammer.check_rate("upload_video:#{user_id}", 60_000, 5) do
{:allow, _count} ->
# upload the video, somehow
{:deny, _limit} ->
# deny the request
end
end
end
The Hammer module provides the following functions:
check_rate(id, scale_ms, limit)check_rate_inc(id, scale_ms, limit, increment)inspect_bucket(id, scale_ms, limit)delete_buckets(id)
Backends are configured via Mix.Config:
config :hammer,
backend: {Hammer.Backend.ETS, [expiry_ms: 60_000 * 60 * 4,
cleanup_interval_ms: 60_000 * 10]}
See the Tutorial for more.
See the Hammer Testbed app for an example of using Hammer in a Phoenix application.
Available Backends
- Hammer.Backend.ETS (provided with Hammer for testing and dev purposes, not very good for production use)
- Hammer.Backend.Redis
- Hammer.Backend.Mnesia (beta)
