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.
@aws-sdk/client-route-53
Description
AWS SDK for JavaScript Route53 Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service.
Installing
To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-route-53
using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-route-53
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-route-53
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-route-53
Getting Started
Import
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the Route53Client
and
the commands you need, for example AssociateVPCWithHostedZoneCommand
:
const { Route53Client, AssociateVPCWithHostedZoneCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-route-53");
import { Route53Client, AssociateVPCWithHostedZoneCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-route-53";
Usage
To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call
send
operation on client with command object as input. - If you are using a custom http handler, you may call
destroy()
to close open connections.
const client = new Route53Client({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
};
const command = new AssociateVPCWithHostedZoneCommand(params);
Async/await
We recommend using await
operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
} catch (error) {
} finally {
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling
as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
Promises
You can also use Promise chaining
to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
},
(error) => {
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch()
and .finally()
as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
})
.catch((error) => {
})
.finally(() => {
});
Callbacks
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell,
but they are supported by the send operation.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
});
v2 compatible style
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style.
However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post
on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-route-53";
const client = new AWS.Route53({ region: "REGION" });
try {
const data = client.associateVPCWithHostedZone(params);
} catch (error) {
}
client
.associateVPCWithHostedZone(params)
.then((data) => {
})
.catch((error) => {
});
client.associateVPCWithHostedZone(params, (err, data) => {
});
Troubleshooting
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,
as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
}
