# OpenAlias ruby

This ruby gem allows you to lookup and read [OpenAlias](https://openalias.org) data with ruby.

OpenAlias ([openalias.org](https://openalias.org)) is an open standard for simpler addresses for any crypto currencies. [Read more here](https://openalias.org)

    At its most basic, OpenAlias is a TXT DNS record on a FQDN (fully qualified domain name). 

    By combining this with DNS-related technologies [it has] created an aliasing standard that is extensible for developers, 

    intuitive and familiar for users, and can interoperate with both centralised and decentralised domain systems.

It is using the [OpenAlias rust implementation](https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/openalias.rs/) - and is simply a ruby wrapper with a native rust extension.

Maybe this is a bad idea, but I had a few minutes and wanted to try it. It works perfectly (but gem install takes a while to compile the extension)

At some point it would probably be awesome to rewrite the whole thing in pure ruby - which is likely very easy.

## Installation

(You need `rustc` installed to build the native rust extension)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'openalias'

```

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install openalias

## Usage

```ruby

Openalias.addresses('[email protected]') # or Openalias.lookup('[email protected]')

=> [#]

Openalias.addresses('donate.getmonero.org')

=> [#, #]

Openalias.addresses('donate.getmonero.org').find(&:xmr?)

=> #

Openalias.addresses('donate.getmonero.org')[0].recipient_name

=> "Monero Development"

```
