What it does

Provides async parsing for a DNS zonefile and returns a object with an array of records and the ttl.

To Do

SOA parsing

Asynchronous Usage

var fs = require('fs');
var dzone = require('dzone');

dzone.parseZoneFile('../com.zone');
dzone.on('recordProcessed', function(err, record) {
    console.log(record);
    if(err) console.error(err);
});

Synchronous Usage

var dzone = require('dzone');
var zonedata = '@ IN A 127.0.0.1'; // can be a line or a whole zonefile
var zone = dzone.parseZoneSync(zonedata);

{ 
records: 
   [ { name: '@', type: 'NS', data: 'ns.domain.com.', priority: null },
     { name: '@', type: 'NS', data: 'ns2.domain.com.', priority: null },
     { name: '@', type: 'NS', data: 'ns3.domain.com.', priority: null },
     { name: '@', type: 'A', data: '127.0.0.1', priority: null },
     { name: 'www', type: 'A', data: '127.0.0.1', priority: null },
     { name: 'cloud',
       type: 'CNAME',
       data: 'test.domain.com.',
       priority: null },
     { name: 'files', type: 'CNAME', data: 'www', priority: null },
     { name: '@', type: 'MX', data: 'www', priority: 10 },
     { name: '@', type: 'TXT', data: 'somevalue', priority: null } ],
ttl: 86400
}	

// other methods

var record = dzone.parseLine(zonedata);

{
	name:'@',
	type:'A',
	ttl:null,
	data:'127.0.0.1',
	priority:priority // only set if its an MX record	
}
