What is @aws-sdk/client-route-53?

@aws-sdk/client-route-53 is an AWS SDK for JavaScript package that allows you to interact with Amazon Route 53, a scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. This package provides a variety of functionalities to manage DNS records, hosted zones, and health checks.

What are @aws-sdk/client-route-53's main functionalities?

Create Hosted Zone

This feature allows you to create a new hosted zone in Amazon Route 53. A hosted zone is a container for DNS records for a specific domain.

const { Route53Client, CreateHostedZoneCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-route-53');

const client = new Route53Client({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const params = {
  Name: 'example.com',
  CallerReference: 'unique-string',
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new CreateHostedZoneCommand(params));
    console.log(data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
};

run();

List Hosted Zones

This feature allows you to list all the hosted zones in your AWS account. It retrieves information about each hosted zone, such as the zone ID and name.

const { Route53Client, ListHostedZonesCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-route-53');

const client = new Route53Client({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new ListHostedZonesCommand({}));
    console.log(data.HostedZones);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
};

run();

Create Record Set

This feature allows you to create a new DNS record set within a hosted zone. You can specify the record type, TTL, and the value for the DNS record.

const { Route53Client, ChangeResourceRecordSetsCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-route-53');

const client = new Route53Client({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const params = {
  HostedZoneId: 'Z3M3LMPEXAMPLE',
  ChangeBatch: {
    Changes: [
      {
        Action: 'CREATE',
        ResourceRecordSet: {
          Name: 'www.example.com',
          Type: 'A',
          TTL: 300,
          ResourceRecords: [{ Value: '192.0.2.44' }],
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new ChangeResourceRecordSetsCommand(params));
    console.log(data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
};

run();

Delete Hosted Zone

This feature allows you to delete a hosted zone from your AWS account. You need to provide the ID of the hosted zone you want to delete.

const { Route53Client, DeleteHostedZoneCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-route-53');

const client = new Route53Client({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const params = {
  Id: 'Z3M3LMPEXAMPLE',
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new DeleteHostedZoneCommand(params));
    console.log(data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
};

run();

Other packages similar to @aws-sdk/client-route-53

aws-sdk

The 'aws-sdk' package is the older version of the AWS SDK for JavaScript. It also provides functionalities to interact with Amazon Route 53, among other AWS services. However, '@aws-sdk/client-route-53' is part of the modular AWS SDK v3, which offers better performance and smaller bundle sizes.

dnsimple

The 'dnsimple' package is a Node.js client for the DNSimple API. It allows you to manage DNS records, domains, and other DNS-related functionalities. DNSimple is a third-party DNS service provider, unlike AWS Route 53, which is part of the AWS ecosystem.
