cloudflare-dns v1.0.5

Extended CloudFlare API

This was made with the intent of extending CloudFlare's Node.JS API with more functionality. Right now I'm only extending their DNS functionality in order to support updating existing records.

DNS API

import CloudFlare from 'cloudflare-dns'
const cf = new CloudFlare({ token: 'my-token' })

Records

Records may be expressed in different ways.

String

const record = 'example.com IN SSHFP 1 1 123456'

Object

const record = {
	type: 'A',
	name: 'example.com',
	content: '127.0.0.1'
}

Object (with data, for complex records)

// example.com IN SSHFP 1 2 123456
const record = {
	type: 'SSHFP',
	name: 'example.com',
	data: {
		algorithm: 1,
		type: 2,
		content: '123456'
	}
}

Operations

Create

Creates a new record.

await cf.dns.create('my-zone', record)

Update

Updates an existing record or creates a new one.

await cf.dns.update('my-zone', record)

Update is tricky: it will match existing records based on the name and type properties on most protocols. Some exceptions exist, though, where we'll need the content and/or data properties. See the following table to understand more.
