A limitd plug-in for hapi.js

Install

npm i -S patova

Registering the plug-in

The following code snippet shows how to register the plug-in in your server:

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var patova = require('patova');

var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ /* options */ });

server.register({
  register: patova,
  options: {
    event: 'onPostAuth',
    type: 'users',
    address: { host: '192.168.33.70' },
    extractKey: function(request, reply, done){
      var key = request.auth.credentials.userId;
      done(null, key);
    }
  },
}, function (err) {
  //
});

Options

The object has the following schema (validated here using Joi):

Required

• event: String - The name of the extension point in the request lifecycle when the bucket check must be performed. Options are "onRequest", "onPreAuth", "onPostAuth","onPreHandler" (anything before the request).
• type: String - The bucket type.
• address: String|Object - Represents the limitd server address. Either a URI with the "limitd" scheme or an object with the following properties:
  • host: String - The host name / ip address of the limitd server.
  • port: Number - The port number of the limitd server.
• extractKey: (request, done) => () - A function that receives the request and a callback done.
  • request: Request - The hapi.js request object.
  • reply: Reply - The hapi.js reply interface. Useful if you want to skip the check.
  • done: (err: Error, key: String) - A function that takes an error as the first parameter and the bucket key as the second parameter.

Optional

• onError: (error, reply) => () - A function that takes the error that occurred when trying to get a token from the bucket and the reply interface.
  • error: Error - The error that occurred.
  • reply: Reply - The hapi.js reply interface.

  If an error occurs and no function is provided, the request lifecycle continues normally as if there was no token bucket restriction. This is a useful default behavior in case the limitd server goes down.
