TradeTrust (dnsprove)

A helper library to retrieve OpenAttestation DNS-TXT records from domains using Google's public DNS service.

A valid OpenAttestation DNS-TXT record looks like:

[
  {
    name: "example.openattestation.com.",
    type: 16,
    TTL: 110,
    data: '"openatts net=ethereum netId=3 addr=0x2f60375e8144e16Adf1979936301D8341D58C36C"',
  },
];

Validation is run on all retrieved records to ensure they conform to the expected format, and records that fail validation will simply be omitted from the returned results.

Installation

npm i @tradetrust-tt/dnsprove

---

Debug

To see validation failures run the library with the debug flag turned on, either

In Browser:

localStorage.debug="dnsprove*"

In NodeJS:

DEBUG="dnsprove*" npm run test

Types

This library uses runtypes for compile time static type checking as well as run time input validation. The generated documentation below is inaccurate for any Runtypes generated types due to documentation generator limitations.
