A DNS Server and Client Implementation in Pure JavaScript with no dependencies.
- Server and Client
- Lot of Type Supported
- Extremely lightweight
- DNS over UDP, TCP, HTTPS Supported
$ npm install dns2Lookup 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);
})();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);
}
})();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);
}
})();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);
}
})();const dns2 = require('dns2');
const { Packet } = dns2;
const server = dns2.createServer({
udp: true,
handle: (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.on('requestError', (error) => {
console.log('Client sent an invalid request', error);
});
server.on('listening', () => {
console.log(server.addresses());
});
server.on('close', () => {
console.log('server closed');
});
server.listen({
// Optionally specify port, address and/or the family of socket() for udp server:
udp: {
port: 5333,
address: "127.0.0.1",
type: "udp4", // IPv4 or IPv6 (Must be either "udp4" or "udp6")
},
// Optionally specify port and/or address for tcp server:
tcp: {
port: 5333,
address: "127.0.0.1",
},
});
// eventually
server.close();Then you can test your DNS server:
$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p5333 lsong.orgNote that when implementing your own lookups, the contents of the query
will be found in request.questions[0].name.
