record hits per IP per route

[nfriedly]

This is possible currently by creating two instances:

var rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');

var limiterA = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60*60*1000, // 1 hour
  max: 50
  delayAfter: 0, // disable delaying
});
app.use('/routeA', limiterA);

var limiterB = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60*1000, // 1 minute
  max: 30
  delayAfter: 0, // disable delaying
})
app.use('/routeB', limiterB);

Will that meet your needs?

I guess it will. I did think of doing that but I assumed it was a singleton since there was no new keyword.

Thanks for the info!

[nfriedly]

Yea, I should probably change that...

There we go, I updated the readme to be a bit more clear (it's actually works either way, but using new should make things a bit more clear) and I added a section for creating different instances for different routes. Should be live as v2.1.3 shortly, although there weren't any code changes.

Great stuff! Thanks.
