Isomorphic DNS over HTTP resolver using fetch.

API based on Node.js' dns promises API, allowing the native dns module to be used if available when relying on this API.

Install

npm i dns-over-http-resolver

Usage

const DnsOverHttpResolver = require('dns-over-http-resolver')

const dohResolver = new DnsOverHttpResolver(options)

Cloudflare and Google DNS servers are used by default. They can be replaced via the API.

You can also use require('dns').promises in Node.js in lieu of this module.

Parameters

Name Type Description
hostname string host name to resolve
[rrType] string resource record type (default: 'A')

Returns

Type Description
Promise<Array<string>> returns a Promise resolving a DNS record according to its type

Example

const DnsOverHttpResolver = require('dns-over-http-resolver')
const resolver = new DnsOverHttpResolver()

const hostname = 'google.com'
const recordType = 'TXT'

const dnsRecord = await resolver.resolve(hostname, recordType)

resolve4(hostname)

Array<string> returns array of DNS servers used

Example

const DnsOverHttpResolver = require('dns-over-http-resolver')

const resolver = new DnsOverHttpResolver()
const servers = resolver.getServers()

setServers(servers)

Sets the IP address and port of servers to be used when performing DNS resolution. Note that the servers order will be randomized on each request for load distribution.

Parameters

Name Type Description
servers Array<string> Array of RFC 5952 formatted addresses.
