Starting from Laravel 5.6, you can use dynamic rate limiting to specify maximum number of requests based on the attribute of the authenticated User model.
When specifying a rate limit on a group of routes in previous versions of Laravel, you had to provide a hard-coded number of maximum requests. This is how you define rate limiting in previous versions of Laravel:
Route::middleware('auth:api', 'throttle:60,1')->group(function () {
Route::get('/user', function () {
//
});
});
From Laravel 5.6, you can specify maximum number of requests in a specific time-frame from a specific User model attribute.
Route::middleware('auth:api', 'throttle:rate_limit,1')->group(function () {
Route::get('/user', function () {
//
});
});
Laravel 5.6 is due next week. Checkout Laravel 5.6 Release Notes which provides the details for changes to the framework.
