Node.js – dnsPromises.resolveAny() Method

The dnsPromises.resolveAny() method uses the DNS protocol to resolve all records (this is also known as ANY or * query). The promise is resolved with an array containing various types of records.

Syntax

dnsPromises.resolveAny(hostname)

Parameters

• hostname - This parameter takes input for the hostname to be resolved.

Example 1

Create a file with the name "resolveAny.js" and copy the following code. After creating the file, use the command "node resolveAny.js" to run this code, as shown in the example below −

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.resolveAny() method

// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;

// Calling dnsPromises.resolveAny() method
dnsPromises.resolveAny('tutorialspoint.com').then((response) => { 
   console.log("records :", response);
});

Output

C:\home\node>> node resolveAny.js
records: [
{"address":"95.217.74.146","ttl":600,"type":"A"},
{"exchange":"alt2.aspmx.l.google.com","priority":5,"type":"MX"},

Example 2

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.resolveAny() method

// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;

// Calling dnsPromises.resolveAny() method
dnsPromises.resolveAny('localhost').then((response) => {
   console.log("Address :", response);
});

Output

C:\home\node>> node resolveAny.js
Address : [
   { address: '127.0.0.1', ttl: 0, type: 'A' },
   { address: '::1', ttl: 0, type: 'AAAA' }
]
