DNS Manager Library

The dns_manager library provides a standard interface for managing DNS records, enabling seamless integration with third-party libraries and drivers. This library simplifies the process of adding, deleting, updating, and retrieving DNS records.

Features

• Record Types: Supports various DNS record types including A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, and a placeholder for non-essential records.
• Record Management: Provides an interface for performing actions on DNS records.
• Flexible Integration: Designed to work with any third-party DNS management system through a standard interface.

Installation

To use the dns_manager library, simply include it in your Go project:

import "github.com/byteonabeach/dns-manager"

Usage

Record Types

The library defines several DNS record types:

const (
    None  RecordType = "None essential"
    A     RecordType = "A"
    AAAA  RecordType = "AAAA"
    MX    RecordType = "MX"
    CNAME RecordType = "CNAME"
    TXT   RecordType = "TXT"
)

Record Structure

A DNS record is represented by the Record struct:

type Record struct {
    Type    RecordType `json:"type,omitempty"`
    Name    string     `json:"name,omitempty"`
    Content string     `json:"content,omitempty"`
    TTL     uint       `json:"ttl,omitempty"`
}

Actions Interface

The Actions interface defines methods for managing DNS records:

type Actions interface {
    AddRecord(*Record) (*Response, error)
    DeleteRecord(*Record) (*Response, error)
    UpdateRecord(*Record) (*Response, error)
    GetRecords() ([]*Record, error)
}

Creating a New Manager

To create a new DNS manager, implement the manager interface and use the New function:

func New(manager_config manager) (Actions, error) {
    return manager_config.New()
}

Response Structure

The Response struct is used to handle responses from DNS operations:

type Response struct {
    Error   string `json:"error"`
    Message string `json:"message"`
}
