Dynect API connector for node.js.

the node.js Dynect module provides a simple interface for making calls to the Dynect API.

API calls are serialized (by design), facilitated by an asynchronous queue and are therefore non-blocking.

the Dynect API connector for node.js is a work in progress and further functionality and examples will be provided soon.

contributions are welcome of course.

examples

Dynect connector instance

var Dynect = require('dynect');

var dynect = new Dynect(username, username, password);

wiring up events

dynect.on('enqueued', function (task) {
	console.log('enqueued: ' + task.method + ' ' + task.path);
});

dynect.on('dequeued', function (task) {
	console.log('dequeued ' + task.method + ' ' + task.path);
});

dynect.on('queueComplete', function () {
	console.log('queue complete');
});

dynect.on('queueComplete', function () {
	console.log('*');
});

dynect.on('error', function (task, err) {
	console.log('error ' + task.method + ' ' + err);
});

dynect.on('response', function (task, response) {
	if (response.msgs) {
		for (var i = 0; i < response.msgs.length; i++) {
			var msg = response.msgs[i];

			if (msg.ERR_CD != null) {
				console.log('= ' + task.method + ' ' + msg.ERR_CD);
			}
			else {
				console.log('= ' + task.method + ' ' + msg.INFO);
			}
		}
	}
	else {
		console.log('~ ' + task.method + ' ' + response);
	}
});

example 1 :

add A record www.example.com (address '123.45.67.89', TTL 5 mins)

var zone = 'example.com';

dynect.on('connected', function () {
	dynect.ARecord.add({
		zone: zone,
		fqdn: 'www.example.com',
		data: {
			rdata: { address: '123.45.67.89' },
			ttl: 300,
		}
	});

	dynect.publish(zone);

	dynect.disconnect();
});

dynect.connect();

example 2 :

add CNAME record www.example.com (cname 'example.mydomain.com', TTL zone default)

var zone = 'example.com';

dynect.on('connected', function () {
	dynect.CNAMERecord.add({
		zone: zone,
		fqdn: 'www.example.com',
		data: {
			rdata: { cname: 'example.mydomain.com' },
			ttl: 0,
		}
	});

	dynect.publish(zone);

	dynect.disconnect();
});

dynect.connect();

example 3 (advanced) :

add SRV records '_sip._tcp.example.com' (target 'voip.mydomain.com' on ports 5060 and 5070, replacing existing if any)

var zone = 'example.com';
var fqdn = '_sip._tcp.example.com';
var srvTarget = 'voip.mydomain.com';
var ports = [5060, 5070];

dynect.on('connected', function () {
	dynect.SRVRecord.get({
		zone: zone,
		fqdn: fqdn
	}, function (responses) {
		for (var x = 0; x < responses.length; x++) {
			var response = responses[x];

			if (response.data.rdata.target === srvTarget + '.') {
				dynect.SRVRecord.delete({
					zone: zone,
					fqdn: fqdn,
					record_id: response.data.record_id
				});
			}
		}

		for (var y = 0; y < ports.length; y++) {
			dynect.SRVRecord.add({
				zone: zone,
				fqdn: fqdn,
				data: {
					rdata: {
						port: ports[y],
						priority: 10,
						target: srvTarget,
						weight: 1
					},
					ttl: 60
				}
			});
		}

		dynect.publish(zone);

		dynect.disconnect();
	});
});

dynect.connect();
