Dynamic rate limiting

- [Instructor] Rate limiting is a useful feature…to limit the number of requests…a user can pass to your application.…However, it can feel many times like an approach…that is a one size fits all.…Not so in Laravel 5.6,…where you can have a dynamic rate limit feature…using a field from your model…to set an upper number of requests.…To do this, we're going to add a virtual attribute…to our user model.…Open up the app, user.php file,…and add a function on line 30.…

Protected function,…get rate limit attribute.…And in this function, we're going to have it…return a rate limit that we'll control.…In this case, we'll have it return the integer two.…Now open our API routes file…at routesapi.php.…We'll wrap the questions and polls API resource routes…in a new middleware.…

On line 15, before route API resources polls and questions,…we'll add route::middleware,…pass in the string auth.basic, comma,…and then pass in another string that'll be throttle,…so this will be our throttle middleware…rate underscore limit.…This is going to be the user's model attribute…
