An Example showing usage of ratelimit as a library is specified below:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/projectdiscovery/ratelimit"
)

func main() {

	// create a rate limiter by passing context, max tasks/requests , time interval
	limiter := ratelimit.New(context.Background(), 5, time.Duration(10*time.Second))

	save := time.Now()

	for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
		// run limiter.Take() method before each task
		limiter.Take()
		fmt.Printf("Task %v completed after %v\n", i, time.Since(save))
	}

	/*
		Output:
		Task 0 completed after 4.083µs
		Task 1 completed after 111.416µs
		Task 2 completed after 118µs
		Task 3 completed after 121.083µs
		Task 4 completed after 124.583µs
