Delaying Requests
Sometimes in your application, you may want to introduce a delay in your requests. This may be to avoid hitting rate limits or to avoid overloading a development environment. With Saloon, you may use the
defaultDelay and delay methods on either your connector or request to define a delay in milliseconds.You may also wish to define a default delay on your connector or request. You can do this by extending the
defaultDelay method. Connector
Request
<?php
class ForgeConnector extends Connector
{
// Every request sent through this connector will have a 500ms delay.
protected function defaultDelay(): ?int
{
return 500;
}
}
<?php
class GetServersRequest extends Request
{
// Every time this request is sent, a 500ms delay is added
protected function defaultDelay(): ?int
{
return 500;
}
}
You can also apply a delay to a connector or a request on the fly with the
delay() method.Connector
Request
<?php
$forge = new ForgeConnector;
// Delay every request sent with the ForgeConnector by 500ms
$forge->delay()->set(500);
<?php
$request = new GetServersRequest;
// Delay just this request instance by 500ms
$request->delay()->set(500);
If you have defined the delay on both the connector and the request, the request delay will take priority.
