We've reached limit, what now?

[kpodemski]

It will be good to document scenario where we've reached the limit of requests per day.

Could we receive some message about it? make sure that this will not throw some nasty runtime errors.

I will push an update that will display a nice message in console, would that be sufficient?

[kpodemski]

Can we add something like places.on('limit')? :) If so it can for example disable integration via ajax request or something like that, i think it will be a nice addition, but of course most important is to not break anything if limit is reached

[vvo]

Yes good idea, it will break somehow because we won't be able to show results anymore.

Nice, i'm looking forward to see this in action!

I have pushed #267 to fix this. When you reach the rate limit:

• if you are listening to the limit event: you will receive that event with {message}
• if you are not listening to the limit event, we will console.log(message)
• message being:

Algolia Places: Current rate limit reached.
