node-function-rate-limit
--------------

Limit the execution rate of any function.

install
---------

with [npm](https://npmjs.org)

```bash
npm install function-rate-limit
```

api
----

### rateLimit(limitCount, limitInterval, function);

returns a rate limited function which should be called instead of the the `function` passed to `rateLimit`

* _limitCount_ - the number of times per `limitInterval` to limit execution of `function`
* _limitInterval_ - the duration of time during which to limit execution of `function` specified in ms
* _function_ - the function which should be rate limited

`function` will be called up to `limitCount` times during `limitInterval` including bursting.

example
-------

```javascript
var rateLimit = require('function-rate-limit');

// limit to 2 executions per 1000ms
var start = Date.now()
var fn = rateLimit(2, 1000, function (x) {
  console.log('%s ms - %s', Date.now() - start, x);
});

for (var y = 0; y < 10; y++) {
  fn(y);
}
```

results in:

```bash
10 ms - 0
11 ms - 1
1004 ms - 2
1012 ms - 3
2008 ms - 4
2013 ms - 5
3010 ms - 6
3014 ms - 7
4017 ms - 8
4017 ms - 9
```

pre 1.x behavior
-------------

Prior to version 1.x.x, this module behaved as a throttle module. `function` would be invoked only one time per `limitCount/limitInterval` with no bursting. If you need this functionality again and do not want bursting, see the `lodash.throttle` module.
