> Generic DNS zone file parser and stringifier
All current and future record types are supported as the module makes no effort to parse a record's content. It is highly configurable and has no dependencies.
## Usage
```bash
npm i dnsz
```
```js
import {parseZone, stringifyZone} from "dnsz";
const data = parseZone("example.com 60 IN A 1.2.3.4");
// => {records: [{name: "example.com", ttl: 60, class: "IN", type: "A", content: "1.2.3.4"}]}
stringifyZone(data);
// => ";; A Records\nexample.com.\t60\tIN\tA\t1.2.3.4\n"
```
## API
### parseZone(str, [opts])
Parse a string of a DNS zone file and returns a `data` object.
- `opts.replaceOrigin` *string*: When specified, replaces any `@` in `name` or `content` with it. Default: `null`.
- `opts.crlf` *boolean*: When true, emit `\r\n` instead of `\n` in `header`. Default: `false`.
- `opts.defaultTTL` *number*: Default TTL when absent and `$TTL` is not present. Default: `60`.
- `opts.defaultClass` *string*: Default class when absent. Default: `"IN"`.
- `opts.dots` *boolean*: Ensure trailing dots on FQDNs in content. Supports a limited amount of record types. Default: `false`.
### stringifyZone(data, [opts])
Parse a `data` object and return a string with the zone file contents.
- `opts.sections` *boolean*: Whether to group records into sections. Default: `true`.
- `opts.crlf` *boolean*: When `true`, emit `\r\n` instead of `\n` for the resulting zone file. Default: `false`.
- `opts.dots` *boolean*: Ensure trailing dots on FQDNs in content. Supports a limited amount of record types. Default: `false`.
### `data` object
- `records`: Array of `record` with these props:
- `name`: The lowercase DNS name without a trailing dot, e.g. `"example.com"`.
- `ttl`: The TTL in seconds, e.g. `60`.
- `class`: The DNS class, e.g. `"IN"`.
- `type`: The record type, e.g. `"A"`.
- `content`: The record content, e.g. `"2001:db8::1"` or `"example.com."`.
- `comment`: A comment, e.g. `"a comment"`, `null` if absent.
- `origin`: The value of `$ORIGIN` in the zone file.
- `ttl`: The value of `$TTL` in the zone file.
- `header`: An optional header at the start of the file. Can be multiline. Does not include comment markers.
If `data.origin` is specified, the following things happen in the zone file output:
- A `$ORIGIN` variable is added.
- All occurences of `data.origin` within `content` are replaced with `@`.
- If `data.origin` matches the `name` of a `record`, `name` is replaced with `@`.
### Example zone file
``` ini
$ORIGIN originzone.com.
;; SOA Records
@ 3600 IN SOA originzone.com. root.originzone.com. 2031242781 7200 3600 86400 3600
;; A Records
@ 60 IN A 1.2.3.4 ; a comment
mx 60 IN A 1.2.3.4 ; another comment
;; AAAA Records
@ 120 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
mx 120 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
```
