Learn how to implement the Token Bucket algorithm in NodeJS for API rate limiting, controlling server usage with a simple and effective approach.
In this article, We will try to explore the Token Bucket algorithm and its implementation in NodeJS for API Rate Limiting in very simple terms. What is Token Bucket? Token Bucket is an algorithm which is used to limit our resources or server usage. It is an algorithm in which we have a finite amount of tokens on our server, and whenever a request is made, a token is used for that request's full fulfillment.
export const rateLimiter==> { } "index.js" import express from 'express'; import { rateLimiter } from './middleware/rateLimiter.js'; const app=express; app.get=> { res.send; }) const PORT=process.env.PORT || 8000; app.listen=> { console.log; }) const tokens=; var time=new Date.getTime; export const rateLimiter==> { if{ tokens.pop; next; } else{ res.send.getTime-time}`); } } We have added simple if else condition in this, if any request comes and if the tokens array has a token, then a token will pop out and the request will be allowed, else the request will be denied. After the tokens array becomes empty, we need to refill it.
npm i express Install express. export const rateLimiter==> { }
