A friendly DNS client for Gleam programs targeting Erlang.

```sh

gleam add nessie

```

```gleam

import nessie

import gleam/io

pub fn main() {

  let ipv4_addrs = nessie.lookup_ipv4("gleam.run", nessie.In, [])

  io.debug(ipv4_addrs)

}

```

## Supported DNS Records

The following is a list of supported DNS record types. If

nessie doesn't currently support a DNS record type you want, feel free to contribute

to this project!

- [x] A

- [x] AAAA

- [x] TXT

- [x] CNAME

- [x] MX

- [x] SOA

- [x] NS

- [ ] PTR

- [ ] SRV

- [ ] CERT

- [ ] DCHID

- [ ] DNAME

- [ ] DNSKEY

- [ ] DS

## What about JavaScript support?

Due to Erlang and JavaScript's fundamentally different approaches

to asynchronous programming (processes & event loops, respectively),

it's not currently possible in Gleam to write a DNS client supporting

both targets.

For more information, see [this Discord thread](https://discord.com/channels/768594524158427167/1224351163797868575). 

## Development

```sh

gleam test  # Run the tests

gleam shell # Run an Erlang shell

```
