marko/ratelimiter
=================

[](#markoratelimiter)

Rate limiting for Marko — throttle requests by key with configurable windows and cache-backed hit counts.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

`marko/ratelimiter` provides a simple, cache-backed rate limiter that integrates with Marko's routing layer via middleware. Define limits by key (IP, user ID, API token, etc.) with configurable max attempts and decay windows. The `RateLimiter` class is the core service; `RateLimitMiddleware` applies limits to routes automatically.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require marko/ratelimiter
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Apply the middleware to a route group:

```
use Marko\RateLimiter\Middleware\RateLimitMiddleware;

$router->group(['middleware' => RateLimitMiddleware::class], function ($router): void {
    $router->get('/api/search', SearchController::class);
});
```

Use the service directly for custom logic:

```
use Marko\RateLimiter\RateLimiter;

$result = $rateLimiter->attempt(
    key: 'api:' . $request->ip(),
    maxAttempts: 60,
    decaySeconds: 60,
);

if ($result->exceeded()) {
    throw new TooManyRequestsException($result->retryAfter);
}
```

API Reference
-------------

[](#api-reference)

- `RateLimiter::attempt(string $key, int $maxAttempts, int $decaySeconds)` — Record a hit and return a `RateLimitResult`
- `RateLimiter::clear(string $key)` — Reset the counter for a key
- `RateLimitResult::exceeded()` — Whether the limit has been breached
- `RateLimitResult::$remaining` — Remaining attempts
- `RateLimitResult::$retryAfter` — Seconds until the window resets
