I am able to apply a rate limiter to my nest app globally using code similar to the answer of this question. On the fastify rate limiter readme, it is shown that you can apply a rate limiter to a specific route via a config property with the rateLimit object with options. Nest's documentation does not explain how to do this; is it possible in the framework or am I out of luck?

    Why not add your code examples instead of sending people off to multiple links? Your question would be more clearly understood that way. –  Mar 03 '20 at 20:27

There's no inherent way to add it only to an endpoint, but you could modify the whitelist property function to return true for all routes except the one(s) you want to rate-limit. It could look something like

app.use(rateLimit({
  whitelist: (req, key) => {
    return !limitProtectedRoutes.includes(req.url);
  }),
}));

May need a few more modifications, but the idea is there

  • A little hacky but if I really can't do it the "proper" way this looks good to me! Will accept after giving a little time for other answers. – monoRed Mar 03 '20 at 17:56
  • Yeah, there's no real way to drop down to the fastify instance to register a middleware directly, so this is about as good as you'll get – Jay McDoniel Mar 03 '20 at 18:01
