How to Install

Dependencies

This library uses the Cache class built into Laravel

How to Use

Create a new filter into application > routes.php

Route::filter('throttle', function()
{
	  if(Input::has('email'))
	  {
		   if(Throttle::is_over(Input::get('email')))
		   {
			return Redirect::to('/');
	    	}
    }
    return null;	
});

Replace Input::has('email') with whatever field your login form has to recognize the user.

whenever you need to throttle a route, add the filter in the before key

'GET /#' => array('before' => 'throttle', function(){});

for increasing the throttle time (after a failed login attempt for example) call the method

Throttle::increase($key);

to remove the throttle for a specific key, simply call

Throttle::remove($key);
