Implementsyii\base\Configurable
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/filters/RateLimiter.php

RateLimiter implements a rate limiting algorithm based on the leaky bucket algorithm.

You may use RateLimiter by attaching it as a behavior to a controller or module, like the following,

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'rateLimiter' => [
            'class' => \yii\filters\RateLimiter::class,
        ],
    ];
}

When the user has exceeded his rate limit, RateLimiter will throw a yii\web\TooManyRequestsHttpException exception.

Note that RateLimiter requires $user to implement the yii\filters\RateLimitInterface. RateLimiter will do nothing if $user is not set or does not implement yii\filters\RateLimitInterface.

Property Details

Hide inherited properties

$enableRateLimitHeaders public property

Whether to include rate limit headers in the response

public boolean $enableRateLimitHeaders = true
$errorMessage public property

The message to be displayed when rate limit exceeds

public string $errorMessage = 'Rate limit exceeded.'
$request public property

The current request. If not set, the request application component will be used.

public yii\web\Request|null $request = null
$response public property

The response to be sent. If not set, the response application component will be used.

public yii\web\Response|null $response = null
$user public property

The user object that implements the RateLimitInterface. If not set, it will take the value of Yii::$app->user->getIdentity(false). {@since 2.0.38} It's possible to provide a closure function in order to assign the user identity on runtime. Using a closure to assign the user identity is recommend when you are not using the standard Yii::$app->user component. See the example below: `php 'user' => function() {

return Yii::$app->apiUser->identity;

} `

public yii\filters\RateLimitInterface|Closure|null $user = null

Method Details

__call() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name
$params array

Method parameters
return mixed

The method return value
throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

{
    throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

 

                public function __construct($config = [])
{
    if (!empty($config)) {
        Yii::configure($this, $config);
    }
    $this->init();
}
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__get()

Returns the value of an object property.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;.

See also __set().

public mixed __get ( $name )
$name string

The property name
return mixed

The property value
throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Getting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
__isset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name
return boolean

Whether the named property is set (not null).

 

                public function __isset($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;

        return $this->$getter() !== null;
    }
    return false;
}
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__set()

Sets value of an object property.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $object->property = $value;.

See also __get().

$name string

The property name or the event name
$value mixed

The property value
throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter($value);
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);

    }
}
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__unset()

Sets an object property to null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, this method will do nothing. If the property is read-only, it will throw an exception.

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php.

                public function attach($owner)

The action to be executed
throws yii\web\TooManyRequestsHttpException

if rate limit exceeds

 

                public function checkRateLimit($user, $request, $response, $action)
{
    list($limit, $window) = $user->getRateLimit($request, $action);
    list($allowance, $timestamp) = $user->loadAllowance($request, $action);
    $current = time();

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::className()

Returns the fully qualified name of this class.

public static string className ( )
return string

The fully qualified name of this class.

 

                public static function className()
{
    return get_called_class();
}
detach() public method

Defined in: yii\base\ActionFilter::detach()

Detaches the behavior object from the component.

The default implementation will unset the $owner property and detach event handlers declared in events(). Make sure you call the parent implementation if you override this method.

public void detach ( )

                public function detach()
{
    if ($this->owner) {
        $this->owner->off(Controller::EVENT_BEFORE_ACTION, [$this, 'beforeFilter']);
        $this->owner->off(Controller::EVENT_AFTER_ACTION, [$this, 'afterFilter']);
        $this->owner = null;
    }
}
events() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Behavior::events()

Declares event handlers for the $owner's events.

Child classes may override this method to declare what PHP callbacks should be attached to the events of the $owner component.

The callbacks will be attached to the $owner's events when the behavior is attached to the owner; and they will be detached from the events when the behavior is detached from the component.

The callbacks can be any of the following:

  • method in this behavior: 'handleClick', equivalent to [$this, 'handleClick']
  • object method: [$object, 'handleClick']
  • static method: ['Page', 'handleClick']
  • anonymous function: function ($event) { ... }

The following is an example:

[
    Model::EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE => 'myBeforeValidate',
    Model::EVENT_AFTER_VALIDATE => 'myAfterValidate',
]
public array events ( )
return array

Events (array keys) and the corresponding event handler methods (array values).

 

                public function events()
{
    return [];
}

{
    if ($this->owner instanceof Module) {
        $mid = $this->owner->getUniqueId();
        $id = $action->getUniqueId();
        if ($mid !== '' && strpos($id, $mid) === 0) {
            $id = substr($id, strlen($mid) + 1);
        }
    } else {
        $id = $action->id;
    }
    return $id;
}
hasMethod() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::hasMethod()

                public function hasMethod($name)

hasProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::hasProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property is defined.

public void init ( )

                public function init()
{
    if ($this->request === null) {
        $this->request = Yii::$app->getRequest();
    }
    if ($this->response === null) {

        $onlyMatch = true;
    } else {
        $onlyMatch = false;
        foreach ($this->only as $pattern) {
            if (StringHelper::matchWildcard($pattern, $id)) {
                $onlyMatch = true;
                break;
            }
        }
