EthJS ENS

A convenience interface for using the Ethereum Name Service, based on the EthJS contract abstraction.

Live Demo

Installation

Install from npm:

npm install ethjs-ens --save

Usage

const ENS = require('ethjs-ens')
const HttpProvider = require('ethjs-provider-http')

// For MetaMask or Mist compatibility:
if (typeof window === 'object' && typeof window.web3 !== 'undefined') {
  setupEns(web3.currentProvider)
} else {
  const provider = new HttpProvider('https://ropsten.infura.io')
  setupEns(provider)
}

function setupEns (provider) {

  // Currently requires both provider and
  // either a network or registryAddress param
  const ens = new ENS({ provider, network: '3' })

  ens.lookup('vitalik.eth')
  .then((address) => {
    const expected = '0x5f8f68a0d1cbc75f6ef764a44619277092c32df0'

    if (address === expected) {
      alert("That's how you do it!")
    }
  })
  .catch((reason) => {
    // There was an issue!
    // Maybe the name wasn't registered!
    console.error(reason)
  })
}

Available APIs

ens.lookup( name )

Takes a valid ENS name, like vitalik.eth, or some.specialname.eth.

Returns a Promise that resolves to a hex-prefixed hexadecimal string for the resolved address.

If a matching name can not be found, will throw:

new Error('ENS name not found.')

ens.reverse( address )

Takes an ethereum address (hex-encoded), and attempts to look up a corresponding name on the registry's reverse-registrar.

Returns a promise that resolves a string if a name exists, or throws if it does not.

ens.registry

An ethjs contract instance initialized for the specified network's address.

Implements the registry interface specified in EIP 137:

function owner(bytes32 node) constant returns (address);
Returns the owner (registrar) of the specified node.

function resolver(bytes32 node) constant returns (address);
Returns the resolver for the specified node.

function ttl(bytes32 node) constant returns (uint64);

Current Supported Networks

Network support is added by adding a registry for that network to the network map.

• Main net (id 1)
• Ropsten (id 3)
