Installation

# Install with npm
$ npm install undns

# Install with yarn
$ yarn add undns

# Install with pnpm
$ pnpm add undns

Usage

Basic Setup

import { createDNSManager } from "undns";
import nodeDriver from "undns/drivers/node";

// Create DNS manager with Node.js driver
const dns = createDNSManager({
  driver: nodeDriver({
    servers: ["8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1"], // Use Google and Cloudflare DNS
  }),
});

Querying DNS Records

// Get all records for a domain
const records = await dns.getRecords("example.com");

// Get specific record type
const aRecords = await dns.getRecords("example.com", { type: "A" });
const mxRecords = await dns.getRecords("example.com", { type: "MX" });

// Get a single record
const firstARecord = await dns.getRecord("example.com", { type: "A" });

// Check if record exists
const hasMxRecord = await dns.hasRecord("example.com", { type: "MX" });

Working with Subdomains

// Query subdomain records
const wwwRecords = await dns.getRecords("example.com", {
  name: "www",
  type: "A",
});

// Or specify full subdomain
const subRecords = await dns.getRecords("api.example.com");

Write Operations (when supported)

// Set a new A record (only works with writable providers)
await dns.setRecord("example.com", {
  name: "www",
  type: "A",
  address: "192.168.1.1",
});

// Set multiple records
await dns.setRecords("example.com", [
  { name: "www", type: "A", address: "192.168.1.1" },
  { name: "mail", type: "MX", priority: 10, exchange: "mail.example.com" },
]);

// Remove records
const recordToRemove = await dns.getRecord("example.com", { type: "A" });
if (recordToRemove) {
  await dns.removeRecord("example.com", recordToRemove);
}

Available Drivers

// Node.js DNS driver (read-only)
import nodeDriver from "undns/drivers/node";

// Cloudflare DNS driver (read-write)
import cloudflareDriver from "undns/drivers/cloudflare";

// DNS over HTTPS driver (read-only)
import dohDriver from "undns/drivers/doh";

// Null driver (for testing)
import nullDriver from "undns/drivers/null";

DNS over HTTPS Server

import { createDohServer, createDohHandler } from "undns/servers/doh";

// Create and start DoH server
const dohServer = createDohServer();
dohServer.serve(8080);
console.log("DoH Server running on http://localhost:8080/dns-query");

// Use handler with existing h3 app
import { createApp } from "h3";
const app = createApp();
const dohHandler = createDohHandler();
app.use("/dns-query", dohHandler);

DNSCrypt Resolvers

import { resolvers, type DnsResolver } from "undns";

// Access all DNSCrypt public resolvers
console.log(`Total resolvers: ${resolvers.length}`);

// Find DoH resolvers
const dohResolvers = resolvers.filter((r) => r.proto === "DoH");

// Find privacy-focused resolvers (no log + no filter)
const privacyResolvers = resolvers.filter((r) => r.nolog && r.nofilter);

Error Handling

import { safeCall, unwrapResult } from "undns/utils";

const result = await safeCall(() => dns.getRecords("example.com"), []);

if (result.error) {
  console.error("DNS query failed:", result.error);
} else {
  console.log("Records:", unwrapResult(result));
}

API Reference

• options (object, optional) - Query options
  • name (string) - Subdomain name (e.g., 'www' for 'www.example.com')
  • type (string) - Record type filter ('A', 'AAAA', 'CNAME', 'MX', 'TXT', 'NS', 'SOA', 'SRV', 'CAA')

Returns: Promise<DNSRecord[]> - Array of DNS records

getRecord(domain, options?)

Get a single DNS record (first match).
