Express Rate Limit IORedis store

A redis store implementation to be used alongside ioredis for the Express Rate Limit middleware. Since the existing redis store is not natively typed and seemed to be using the legacy store version of the Express Rate Limit, I decided to implement a new store for my personal projects. There is a disavantage to rate-limit-redis, in which this store only works with the IORedis client.

Installation

With npm:

$ npm install --save express-rate-limit-ioredis-store

With yarn:

$ yarn add express-rate-limit-ioredis-store

Usage

const ExpressRateLimit = require("express-rate-limit");
const RedisStore = require("express-rate-limit-ioredis-store");

const limiter = ExpressRateLimit({
  store: new RedisStore({
    // check Options
  }),
  max: 100,
  windowMs: 60000,
});

app.use(limiter);

Or with ES modules

import ExpressRateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
import RedisStore from 'express-rate-limit-ioredis-store';

const limiter = ExpressRateLimit({
  store: new RedisStore({
    // check Options
  }),
  max: 100,
  windowMs: 60000,
});

app.use(limiter);

Options

• globalPrefix: string (optional) - the prefix that will be added to all the redis keys used by this lib. Default value is express-rate-limit-store-.
• client: The ioredis Client to be used by the store.
