Add Rate Limit to a Livewire Component

A simple solution would be to create a public property. Each time you send, put a timestamp in the property that is 6 seconds in the future.

In both the front end and the backend, disable sending until this time is in the past.

Hello,

I just stumbled over that topic and tried to get RateLimiter running in a Livewire/Volt Component. Also tried the package of @danharrin but somehow couldn't get it working (I assume I did something wrong as it states there is volt compatibility in the release notes).

I implemented it now a little differently and it seems to work quite well. (I hope I haven't overseen anything as I am quite new to the laravel world)

I just added the following lines at the beginning of the function

public function send() {
        $key = auth()->id() ?: request()->ip();

        // Check if the user has hit the rate limit
        if (RateLimiter::tooManyAttempts($key, 1)) {
            // Notify the user somehow
        }

        // Record a hit (increment the rate limit count)
        RateLimiter::hit($key, 60); // Limit resets after 60 seconds
		
		// Original Code of the function follows here
		...
}
