Rate Limiter API Reference

useRateLimitedCallback

ts
function useRateLimitedCallback<TFn>(fn, options): (...args) => boolean;

Defined in: rate-limiter/useRateLimitedCallback.ts:37

Returns a stable rate-limited callback owned by the Octane lifecycle.

Accepts updates while the configured limit has capacity in its fixed or sliding window. Rejected updates are discarded instead of delayed.

Return value

Returns the bound maybeExecute method with the wrapped function's parameter types. It returns an accepted-or-rejected boolean.

State and ownership

Use useRateLimiter when you need selected state or control methods. This callback does not expose the utility, its store, or a child subscription.

Call during component rendering. The hook retains its utility across renders and runs cleanup when the component unmounts. Options accept an object with top-level getters or an options factory. Function-valued core options remain callbacks. Local options override provider defaults without replacing the utility or its pending work. onUnmount replaces default cleanup and receives the utility instance. A custom callback must perform every needed cancel, stop, or abort action.

Type Parameters

TFn

TFn extends AnyFunction

Parameters

fn

TFn

options

OctanePacerOptions<OctaneRateLimiterOptions<TFn, { }>>

Returns

ts
(...args): boolean;

Attempts to execute the rate-limited function if within the configured limits. Will reject execution if the number of calls in the current window exceeds the limit.

Parameters

args

...Parameters<TFn>

Returns

boolean

Example

ts
const rateLimiter = new RateLimiter(fn, { limit: 5, window: 1000 });

// First 5 calls will return true
rateLimiter.maybeExecute('arg1', 'arg2'); // true

// Additional calls within the window will return false
rateLimiter.maybeExecute('arg1', 'arg2'); // false

Example

ts
import { useRateLimitedCallback } from '@tanstack/octane-pacer'

// During component rendering:
const schedule = useRateLimitedCallback((value: number) => { console.log(value) }, { limit: 3, window: 1000 })
schedule(1)
