Defined in: rate-limiter/createRateLimitedSignal.ts:95

A Solid hook that creates a rate-limited state value that enforces a hard limit on state updates within a time window. This hook combines Solid's createSignal with rate limiting functionality to provide controlled state updates.

Rate limiting is a simple "hard limit" approach - it allows all updates until the limit is reached, then blocks subsequent updates until the window resets. Unlike throttling or debouncing, it does not attempt to space out or intelligently collapse updates. This can lead to bursts of rapid updates followed by periods of no updates.

The rate limiter supports two types of windows:

• 'fixed': A strict window that resets after the window period. All updates within the window count towards the limit, and the window resets completely after the period.
• 'sliding': A rolling window that allows updates as old ones expire. This provides a more consistent rate of updates over time.

For smoother update patterns, consider:

• createThrottledSignal: When you want consistent spacing between updates (e.g. UI changes)
• createDebouncedSignal: When you want to collapse rapid updates into a single update (e.g. search input)

Rate limiting should primarily be used when you need to enforce strict limits, like API rate limits.

The hook returns a tuple containing:

• The rate-limited state value accessor
• A rate-limited setter function that respects the configured limits
• The rateLimiter instance for additional control

For more direct control over rate limiting without state management, consider using the lower-level createRateLimiter hook instead.

The hook uses TanStack Store for reactive state management via the underlying rate limiter instance. The selector parameter allows you to specify which rate limiter state changes will trigger reactive updates, optimizing performance by preventing unnecessary subscriptions when irrelevant state changes occur.

By default, there will be no reactive state subscriptions and you must opt-in to state tracking by providing a selector function. This prevents unnecessary reactive updates and gives you full control over when your component subscribes to state changes. Only when you provide a selector will the reactive system track the selected state values.

Available rate limiter state properties:

• callsInWindow: Number of calls made in the current window
• remainingInWindow: Number of calls remaining in the current window
• windowStart: Unix timestamp when the current window started
• nextWindowStart: Unix timestamp when the next window will start
• msUntilNextWindow: Milliseconds until the next window starts
• isAtLimit: Whether the call limit for the current window has been reached
• status: Current status ('disabled' | 'idle' | 'at-limit')

• TValue

• TSelected = {}
