Resolve DNS queries with browser fallback

About

Query DNS records using node:dns, DNS over HTTP and/or DNSJSON over HTTP.

A list of publicly accessible servers can be found here.

Example - Using the default resolver

import { dns } from '@multiformats/dns'

const resolver = dns()

// resolve A records with a 5s timeout
const result = await dns.query('google.com', {
  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
})

Example - Using per-TLD resolvers

import { dns } from '@multiformats/dns'
import { dnsJsonOverHttps } from '@multiformats/dns/resolvers'

const resolver = dns({
  resolvers: {
    // will only be used to resolve `.com` addresses
    'com.': dnsJsonOverHttps('https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query'),

    // this can also be an array, resolvers will be shuffled and tried in
    // series
    'net.': [
      dnsJsonOverHttps('https://dns.google/resolve'),
      dnsJsonOverHttps('https://dns.pub/dns-query')
    ],

    // will only be used to resolve all other addresses
    '.': dnsJsonOverHttps('https://dnsforge.de/dns-query'),
  }
})

Example - Query for specific record types

import { dns, RecordType } from '@multiformats/dns'

const resolver = dns()

// resolve only TXT records
const result = await dns.query('google.com', {
  types: [
    RecordType.TXT
  ]
})

Caching

Individual Aanswers are cached so. If you make a request, for which all record types are cached, all values will be pulled from the cache.

If any of the record types are not cached, a new request will be resolved as if none of the records were cached, and the cache will be updated to include the new results.

Example - Ignoring the cache

import { dns, RecordType } from '@multiformats/dns'

const resolver = dns()

// do not used cached results, always resolve a new query
const result = await dns.query('google.com', {
  cached: false
})
