dns2

NPM version Build Status

A DNS Server and Client Implementation in Pure JavaScript with no dependencies.

Features

  • Server and Client
  • Lot of Type Supported
  • Extremely lightweight
  • DNS over UDP, TCP, HTTPS Supported

Installation

$ npm install dns2

DNS Client (default UDP)

Lookup any records available for the domain lsong.org. DNS client will use UDP by default.

const dns2 = require('dns2');

const options = {
  // available options
  // dns: dns server ip address or hostname (string),
  // port: dns server port (number),
  // recursive: Recursion Desired flag (boolean, default true, since > v1.4.2)
};
const dns = new dns2(options);

(async () => {
  const result = await dns.resolveA('google.com');
  console.log(result.answers);
})();

Another way to instanciate dns2 UDP Client:

const { UDPClient } = require('dns2');

const resolve = UDPClient();

(async () => {
  const response = await resolve('google.com')
  console.log(response.answers);
})();

DNS Client (TCP)

Lookup any records available for the domain lsong.org. By default, DNS requests will use UDP.

const { TCPClient } = require('dns2');

const resolve = TCPClient();

(async () => {
  try {
    const response = await resolve('lsong.org')
    console.log(response.answers);
  } catch(error) {
    // some DNS servers (i.e cloudflare 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) 
    // may send an empty response when using TCP
    console.log(error);
  }
})();

Client Custom DNS Server

You can pass your own DNS Server.

const { TCPClient } = require('dns2');

const resolve = TCPClient({
  dns: '1.1.1.1'
});

(async () => {
  try {
    const result = await resolve('google.com');
    console.log(result.answers);
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
})();

System DNS Server

You can use the first DNS server from your OS with native node dns.

const dns = require('dns');
const { TCPClient } = require('dns2');

const resolve = TCPClient({
  dns: dns.getServers()[0]
});

(async () => {
  try {
    const result = await resolve('google.com');
    console.log(result.answers);
  } catch(error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
})();

Example Server

const dns2 = require('dns2');

const { Packet } = dns2;

const server = dns2.createUDPServer((request, send, rinfo) => {
  const response = Packet.createResponseFromRequest(request);
  const [ question ] = request.questions;
  const { name } = question;
  response.answers.push({
    name,
    type: Packet.TYPE.A,
    class: Packet.CLASS.IN,
    ttl: 300,
    address: '8.8.8.8'
  });
  send(response);
});

server.on('request', (request, response, rinfo) => {
  console.log(request.header.id, request.questions[0]);
});

server.listen(5333);

Then you can test your DNS server:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p5333 lsong.org

Note that when implementing your own lookups, the contents of the query will be found in request.questions[0].name.
