Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

This package provides the API you really wanted to Amazon's Route53 service.

Build Status

UNMAINTAINED (since 2019-07-18)

This project is no longer maintined and therefore no new features will be added. However fixes for major bugs will be merged and released if a PR is submitted.

We suggest you use Amazon's official aws-sdk from now on.

Many thanks.

Synopsis

var Route53 = require('nice-route53');

var r53 = new Route53({
    accessKeyId     : process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey : process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
});

r53.zones(function(err, domains) {
    console.log(domains);
});

Operations

.zones()

This operations lists all of your zones in Route53 with these credentials:

route53.zones(function(err, zones) {
    // zones is an array of zones
    console.log(zones);
});

An example of a list of zones is:

[ { zoneId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    name: 'chilts.org',
    reference: 'chilts.org',
    comment: '' },
  { zoneId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    name: 'example.com',
    reference: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
    comment: 'Created 2013-06-14' } ]

.createZone()

route53.createZone(function(err, zone) {
    console.log(zone);
});

An example of a new zone is:

{ zoneId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  name: 'example.org',
  reference: 'example.org',
  status: 'PENDING',
  submittedAt: '2013-06-20T03:53:19.888Z',
  changeId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  nameServers:
   [ 'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.org',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.co.uk',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.net',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.com' ],
  comment: 'Created 2013-06-20' }

Caveat: if you try to create a zone for example.org, we send a CallerReference of example.org. This is so that you will get an error if you try to create a second zone for the same domain name. If you actually want to create a 2nd zone for the same domain name, you should use the low-level API using aws-sdk from Amazon. This library won't do that for you.

.zoneInfo()

You can either call this with a domainName or a zoneId. In both cases you'll get the zone info back:

r53.zoneInfo('chilts.org', function(err, zoneInfo) {
    console.log(zoneInfo);
});
r53.zoneInfo('xxxxxxxxxxxxx', function(err, zoneInfo) {
    console.log(zoneInfo);
});

An example of the zoneInfo is:

{ zoneId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  name: 'example.com',
  reference: 'example.com',
  nameServers:
   [ 'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.org',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.co.uk',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.net',
     'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.com' ] }

If you provide a zoneId then zoneInfo() will use the GetHostedZone operation. If you have provided a domainName, then the .zones() operation is called first, the correct zone found and then GetHostedZone is called with the zoneId.

.records()

This command returns a list of all of the resource records for the zoneId provided:

r53.records('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', function(err, records) {
    console.log(records);
});

The records returned look like:

[ { name: 'example.net.',
    type: 'A',
    ttl: '300',
    values: [ '192.168.1.1' ] },
  { name: 'example.net.',
    type: 'NS',
    ttl: '172800',
    values:
     [ 'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.net.',
       'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.com.',
       'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.org.',
       'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.co.uk.' ] },
  { name: 'example.net.',
    type: 'SOA',
    ttl: '900',
    values: [ 'ns-xxx.awsdns-xx.net. awsdns-hostmaster.amazon.com. 1 7200 900 1209600 86400' ] },
  { name: 'localhost.example.net.',
    type: 'A',
    ttl: '604800',
    values: [ '127.0.0.1' ] } ]

.setRecord()

This command lets you set a record whether or not it already exists. If it exists it issues a DELETE on the old one and a CREATE for the new one. If it doesn't already exist, then it just issues a CREATE.

var args = {
    zoneId : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    name   : 'localhost.chilts.org',
    type   : 'A',
    ttl    : 600,
    values : [
        '127.0.0.1',
    ],
};
r53.setRecord(args, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Will give a changeset such as:

{ changeId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  url: '/change/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  status: 'PENDING',
  submittedAt: '2013-06-21T00:03:26.297Z' }

.upsertRecord()

This command lets you upsert a record whether or not it already exists. If it exists Route53 will handle it, otherwise Route53 will create it.

var args = {
    zoneId : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    name   : 'localhost.chilts.org',
    type   : 'A',
    ttl    : 600,
    values : [
        '127.0.0.1',
    ],
};
r53.upsertRecord(args, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Will give a changeset such as:

{ changeId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  url: '/change/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  status: 'PENDING',
  submittedAt: '2013-06-21T00:03:26.297Z' }

.delRecord()

This command lets you delete an existing record. Nice Route53 will complain if you try and delete a resource record that doesn't exist. It will issue a DELETE on the resource record if it does exist.

var args = {
    zoneId : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    name   : 'localhost.chilts.org',
    type   : 'A',
};
r53.delRecord(args, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Will give a changeset such as:

{ changeId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  url: '/change/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  status: 'PENDING',
  submittedAt: '2013-06-21T00:03:26.297Z' }

.getChange()

This gets you a changeInfo response from a changeId:

r53.getChange('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Will give a changeset such as:

{ changeId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  url: '/change/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  status: 'INSYNC',
  submittedAt: '2013-06-21T00:03:26.297Z' }

Polling for Status Changes

.pollChangeUntilInSync()

Once you have called either .createZone() or .setRecord(), you will have access to a changeId. You could do polling yourself using .getChange() or you could use this command to help you.

var ee = r53.pollChangeUntilInSync(res.changeId, 10);
ee.on('attempt', function(changeInfo) {
    console.log('Attempted a poll');
});
ee.on('pending', function(changeInfo) {
    console.log('Still PENDING:', changeInfo);
});
ee.on('insync', function(changeInfo) {
    console.log('Now INSYNC:', changeInfo);
});
ee.on('error', function(err) {
    console.log('error:', err);
});

Note: 'attempt' is emitted once we receive the result of every .getChange(), irrespective of whether the status is still PENDING or INSYNC. Only one of 'pending' or 'insync' is emitted after every 'attempt'.

Combining Changes with Polling

For the various operations which add/change/remove a zone or record, you will receive a changeId in the callback (if successful). If you want to, you can then poll that change until it's status is 'INSYNC'.

However, if you'd like to do all of this with the same command, you can provide a pollEvery value (in seconds) so that the operation will set it up for you.

For example, let's say you add a new zone and then poll until it is 'INSYNC', you can do this, with the equivalent new call shown afterwards:

r53.createZone(args, function(err, zone) {
    // error checking here

    var ee = r53.pollChangeUntilInSync(zone.changeId, 10);
    ee.on('insync', function(changeInfo) {
        console.log('Now INSYNC:', changeInfo);
    });
});

r53.createZone(args, 10, function(err, zone, ee) {
    // error checking here

    ee.on('insync', function(changeInfo) {
        console.log('Now INSYNC:', changeInfo);
    });
});

In the cases where the change operation fails (ie. err is set, then both the zone and ee will be undefined.
