# dns-over-tls

[`dns-over-tls`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dns-over-tls) is a Node.js DNS-over-TLS API. Here's a [blog post](https://sagi.io/2018/09/dns-over-tls---thoughts-and-implementation/) that explains how it works.

## Installation

~~~
$ npm install dns-over-tls
~~~

## API

We import as follows:
~~~js
const dnstls = require('dns-over-tls')
~~~

All API usages return a `Promise` that resolves to a `DNS` response object.

#### dnstls.query(name)
~~~js
(async () => {
const dnsResponse = await dnstls.query('sagi.io')
})()
~~~

Sends a DNS-over-TLS request of `domain name` `'sagi.io'` to
[Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-tls/)'s
`dns-over-tls` server (`host` is `'1.1.1.1'` and `servername` is `'cloudflare-dns.com'`).

#### dnstls.query(host, servername, name)
~~~js
(async () => {
const dnsResponse = await dnstls.query('9.9.9.9', 'dns.quad9.net', 'sagi.io')
})()
~~~
Sends a DNS-over-TLS request of `domain name` `'sagi.io'` to `host` `'9.9.9.9'` with
`servername` `'dns.quad9.net'`.

#### dnstls.query({ host, servername, name, klass = 'IN', type = 'A', port = 853 })
Allows for more advanced `DNS` queries.

~~~js
(async () => {
const options = {
name: 'authors.bind',
host: '145.100.185.15',
servername: 'dnsovertls.sinodun.com',
klass: 'CH',
type: 'TXT'
};

const dnsResponse = await dnstls.query(options)
})
~~~
Sends a DNS-over-TLS request of `domain name` `'authors.bind'` to `host` `'145.100.185.15'` with
`servername` `'dnsovertls.sinodun.com'`, `class` `'CH'` and type `'TXT'`.

## Example

Say we'd like to get the `NS` records of domain `sagi.io`:
~~~js
const options = {
name: 'sagi.io',
host: '1.1.1.1',
servername: 'cloudflare-dns.com',
type: 'NS',
};
const dnsResponse = await dnstls.query(options);
console.log(JSON.stringify(dnsResponse, null, 2));
~~~

Code from [`example`](https://github.com/sagi/node-dns-over-tls/tree/master/example).
