Rate limit feature is not working in nestjs app

I'm exploring the NestJS and I'm trying to explore rate limit feature.

This is my main.ts file. 

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import * as rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  await app.listen(3000);
  app.use(
    rateLimit({
      windowMs: 60 * 1000, // 1 minutes
      max: 10, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
    }),
  );
}
bootstrap();

I'm using its official site for reference.

Required output

You need to set the use of rateLimit before you call app.listen(). Once you call app.listen() you can't assign more middleware to be used for the server.
