Parameters

  • address: address to be resolved.

Returns

  • string: Domain or subdomain associated to the given address.

Throws

Example

rns.reverse('0x0000000000000000000000000000000123456789').then(console.log)

setReverse

Set reverse resolution with the given name for the current address using setName interface

Signature

async setName(name: string, options?: Options): Promise<string>

Parameters

  • name: Name to be set as the reverse resolution of the current address
  • options: Optional. See options for details.

Returns

  • string: hash of the submitted transaction.

Throws

Example

Set name resolution of the current address as testing.rsk

rns.setReverse('testing.rsk').then(() => console.log('Done!'))

Once this transaction is confirmed, rns.reverse(YOUR_CURRENT_ADDRESS) will return testing.rsk

setResolver

Set resolver of a given domain.

Signature

async setResolver(domain: string, resolver: string, options?: Options): Promise<string>

Parameters

  • domain: Domain to set resolver.
  • resolver: Address to be set as the resolver of the given domain
  • options: Optional. See options for details.

Returns

  • string: hash of the submitted transaction.

Throws

available

Check if given domain is available or if there is any availability for the given label.

Signature

async available(domain: string): Promise<boolean | string[]>

Parameters

  • domain: Domain or label to check availability.

Returns

  • true if the domain is available, false if not, or an array of available domains under possible TLDs if the parameter is a label

Throws

Examples

rns.available('testing.rsk').then(console.log) // will print true or false
rns.available('testing').then(console.log) // will print [ 'testing.rsk' ] if is available or [ ] if not.

subdomains

available (for subdomains)

Checks if the given label subdomain is available under the given domain tree.

Signature

async available(domain: string, label: string): Promise<boolean>

Parameters

  • domain: Parent .rsk domain. For example, wallet.rsk
  • label: Subdomain whose availability should be checked. For example, alice

Returns

  • boolean: true if available, false if not

Throws

Example

Check if example.testing.rsk subdomain is available:

rns.subdomains.available('testing.rsk', 'example').then(console.log)

setOwner

Sets a subdomain owner, it does not check for subdomain availability. It submits a setSubnodeOwner transaction, so if the subdomain exists, it will overwrite the existing owner and will set the resolver of the parent domain. If the subdomain does not exists, will create it.

Precondition: the sender should be the owner of the parent domain.

Signature

async setOwner(domain: string, label: string, owner: string, options?: Options): Promise<string>

Parameters

  • domain: Parent .rsk domain. For example, wallet.rsk
  • label: Subdomain to register. For example, alice
  • owner: The new owner's address
  • options: Optional. See options for details.

Returns

  • string: hash of the submitted transaction.

Throws

Example

Register example.testing.rsk and give ownership to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001:

const newOwnerAddress = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001';
await rns.subdomains.setOwner('testing.rsk', 'example', newOwnerAddress);

create

Creates a new subdomain under the given domain tree if it is available, and sets its resolution if addr is provided. It may send one, two, or three transactions, based on the value of the sent parameters.

This endpoint is not working as expected in public networks (it works ok in Ganache). To workaround failed transactions pass gas: 85000.
More info

Precondition: the sender should be the owner of the parent domain.

Signature

async create(domain: string, label: string, owner: string, addr: string, options?: Options): Promise<string>

Parameters

  • domain: Parent .rsk domain. For example, wallet.rsk
  • label: Subdomain to register. For example, alice
  • owner: The owner of the new subdomain. If not provided, the address who executes the tx will be the owner
  • addr: The address to be set as resolution of the new subdomain
  • options: Optional. See options for details.

If addr is not provided, no resolution will be set, and will send only one setSubnodeOwner transaction.

If owner is not provided, the sender will be set as the new owner, and will send one setSubnodeOwner transaction.

If owner and addr are provided and owner is equals to the sender, will send two transactions: setSubnodeOwner, and addr.

If owner and addr are provided, but owner is different from the sender, will send three transactions: setSubnodeOwner, addr, and setSubnodeOwner again.

Returns

  • string: hash of the last transaction.

Throws

Example

Register example.testing.rsk, give ownership to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001 and set resolution to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002:

const newOwnerAddress = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001';
const resolution = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002';
await rns.subdomains.create('testing.rsk', 'example', newOwnerAddress, resolution);

Options

options is an optional parameter in every method that submits one or more transactions.

This object contains the following fields:

  • from - String (optional): The address the transaction should be sent from. If not provided, it will use the first account associated with the current provider.
  • gasPrice - String (optional): The gas price, denominated in wei, to use for this transaction.
  • gas - Number (optional): The maximum gas provided for this transaction (gas limit).
