## Tollbooth
This is a generic middleware to rate-limit HTTP requests.
**NOTE:** This library is considered finished, any new activities are probably centered around `thirdparty` modules.
## Five Minutes Tutorial
```go
package main
import (
"github.com/didip/tollbooth"
"net/http"
"time"
)
func HelloHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hello, World!"))
}
func main() {
// Create a request limiter per handler.
http.Handle("/", tollbooth.LimitFuncHandler(tollbooth.NewLimiter(1, time.Second), HelloHandler))
http.ListenAndServe(":12345", nil)
}
```
## Features
1. Rate-limit by request's remote IP, path, methods, custom headers, & basic auth usernames.
```go
limiter := tollbooth.NewLimiter(1, time.Second)
// or create a limiter with expirable token buckets
// This setting means:
// create a 1 request/second limiter and
// every token bucket in it will expire 1 hour after it was initially set.
limiter = tollbooth.NewLimiterExpiringBuckets(1, time.Second, time.Hour, 0)
// Configure list of places to look for IP address.
// By default it's: "RemoteAddr", "X-Forwarded-For", "X-Real-IP"
// If your application is behind a proxy, set "X-Forwarded-For" first.
limiter.IPLookups = []string{"RemoteAddr", "X-Forwarded-For", "X-Real-IP"}
// Limit only GET and POST requests.
limiter.Methods = []string{"GET", "POST"}
// Limit request headers containing certain values.
// Typically, you prefetched these values from the database.
limiter.Headers = make(map[string][]string)
limiter.Headers["X-Access-Token"] = []string{"abc123", "xyz098"}
// Limit based on basic auth usernames.
// Typically, you prefetched these values from the database.
limiter.BasicAuthUsers = []string{"bob", "joe", "didip"}
```
2. Each request handler can be rate-limited individually.
3. Compose your own middleware by using `LimitByKeys()`.
4. Tollbooth does not require external storage since it uses an algorithm called [Token Bucket](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket) [(Go library: golang.org/x/time/rate)](//godoc.org/golang.org/x/time/rate).
# Other Web Frameworks
Support for other web frameworks are defined under `/thirdparty` directory.
