Introduction

Fireflysoft.RateLimit is a rate limiting library based on .Net standard. Its core is simple and lightweight, and can flexibly meet the rate limiting needs of many scenarios.

Features

• Multiple rate limiting algorithms: built-in fixed window, sliding window, leaky bucket, token bucket, and can be extended.
• Multiple counting storage: memory and Redis (including cluster).
• Distributed friendly: supports unified counting of distributed programs with Redis storage.
• Flexible rate limiting targets: each data can be extracted from the request to set rate limiting targets.
• Support rate limit penalty: the client can be locked for a period of time after the rate limit is triggered.
• Time window enhancement: support to the millisecond level; support starting from the starting point of time periods such as seconds, minutes, hours, dates, etc.
• Real-time tracking: the number of requests processed and the remaining allowed requests in the current counting cycle, as well as the reset time of the counting cycle.
• Dynamically change the rules: support the dynamic change of the rate limiting rules when the program is running.
• Custom error: you can customize the error code and error message after the current limit is triggered.
• Universality: in principle, it can meet any scenario that requires rate limiting.

Usage

ASP.NET Core

1、Install Nuget Package

Package Manager:

Install-Package FireflySoft.RateLimit.AspNetCore

Or .NET CLI:

dotnet add package FireflySoft.RateLimit.AspNetCore

Or Project file：

<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="FireflySoft.RateLimit.AspNetCore" Version="2.*" />
</ItemGroup>

2、Use Middleware

The following code calls the rate-limit middleware from Startup.Configure:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    ...

    services.AddRateLimit(new InProcessFixedWindowAlgorithm(
        new[] {
            new FixedWindowRule()
            {
                ExtractTarget = context =>
                {
                    return (context as HttpContext).Request.Path.Value;
                },
                CheckRuleMatching = context =>
                {
                    return true;
                },
                Name="default limit rule",
                LimitNumber=30,
                StatWindow=TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
            }
        })
    );

    ...
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    ...

    app.UseRateLimit();

    ...
}

ASP.NET

1、Install Nuget Package:

Package Manager:

Install-Package FireflySoft.RateLimit.AspNet

2、Register MessageHandler

Open Global.asax.cs, the following code adds the rate limit message handle:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    ...

    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MessageHandlers.Add(
        new RateLimitHandler(
            new Core.InProcessAlgorithm.InProcessFixedWindowAlgorithm(
                new[] {
                    new FixedWindowRule()
                    {
                        ExtractTarget = context =>
                        {
                            return (context as HttpRequestMessage).RequestUri.AbsolutePath;
                        },
                        CheckRuleMatching = context =>
                        {
                            return true;
                        },
                        Name="default limit rule",
                        LimitNumber=30,
                        StatWindow=TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
                    }
                })
        ));

    ...
}

Others

1、Install Nuget Package

Package Manager:

Install-Package FireflySoft.RateLimit.Core

Or .NET CLI:

dotnet add package FireflySoft.RateLimit.Core

2、Use IAlgorithm

Use IAlgorithm to filter every request, process the return value of Check method.

// Rule
var fixedWindowRules = new FixedWindowRule[]
    {
        new FixedWindowRule()
        {
            Id = "3",
            StatWindow=TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
            LimitNumber=30,
            ExtractTarget = (request) =>
            {
                return (request as SimulationRequest).RequestResource;
            },
            CheckRuleMatching = (request) =>
            {
                return true;
            },
        }
    };

// Algorithm
IAlgorithm algorithm = new InProcessFixedWindowAlgorithm(fixedWindowRules);

// Check
var result = algorithm.Check(new SimulationRequest()
    {
        RequestId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
        RequestResource = "home",
        Parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
                    { "from","sample" },
            }
    });

SimulationRequest is a custom request that you can modify to any type.
