tlds2

tlds2 is an npm module that provides a comprehensive list of top-level domains (TLDs) from ICANN. It also includes subdomain and registrar identification for better domain control and parsing.

To access the complete TLD and registrar list, visit this link.

Installation

npm install tlds2

Usage

const tlds = require('tlds2');

console.log(tlds.top);
//=> ['aaa', 'aarp', 'abarth', 'abb', 'abbott', 'abbvie', 'abc', ...]

Getting the Complete List

You can obtain the detailed list of registrars that make up the ICANN domains. This allows you to identify domains like *.co.uk when the ICANN list only includes *.uk.

const tlds = require('tlds2');

console.log(tlds.list);
//=> ['aaa', 'aarp', 'abarth', 'abb', 'abbott', 'abbvie', 'abc', ...]

Feel free to explore the full capabilities of the tlds2 module to enhance your domain management and parsing functionalities.

Some APIs

check(domain)

Combines the usage of checkDomain() and checkTLD() to perform comprehensive domain validation.

Parameters

• domain (string): The domain name to check.

Returns

An object with the following properties:

• error (string|null): Error message if the domain is invalid, null if valid.
• punycode (boolean): Indicates whether the domain contains punycode encoding.
• org (string|null): The organization/domain part of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) returned by checkTLD().
• tld (string): The top-level domain (TLD) labels in reverse order, joined by a dot ('.') returned by checkTLD().
• subDomain (string): The subdomain labels in reverse order, joined by a dot ('.') returned by `checkTLD().

Example

const {check} = require("./tlds2")

const result = check('example.com');
console.log(result);
// Output: { error: null, punycode: false, org: "example", tld: "com", subDomain: "" }

In the example above, the check() function is used to validate the domain name "example.com". The result object contains information about any errors, punycode encoding, organization/domain, TLD labels, and subdomain labels returned by checkTLD().

checkTLD(fqdn)

Checks the top-level domain (TLD) and subdomain of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

Parameters

• fqdn (string): The fully qualified domain name to check.

Returns

An object with the following properties:

• error (string | null): Error message if the TLD/subdomain is invalid, null if valid.
• punycode (boolean): Indicates whether the TLD/subdomain contains punycode encoding.
• validTLD (boolean): Indicates whether a valid TLD is present.
• org (string | null): Organization/domain part of the FQDN.
• tld (string): TLD labels in reverse order, joined with periods.
• subDomain (string): Subdomain labels in reverse order, joined with periods.

Example

const {checkTLD} = require("./tlds2")
const fqdn = "sub.domain.example.com";
const result = checkTLD(fqdn);
console.log(result);

Output:

{
    error: null,
    punycode: false,
    validTLD: true,
    org: "example",
    tld: "com",
    subDomain: "sub.domain"
}

checkDomain(domain)

Checks a domain name for validity.

Parameters

• domain (string): The domain name to check.

Returns

An object with the following properties:

• error (string | null): An error message if the domain is invalid, or null if the domain is valid.
• punycode (boolean): Indicates whether the domain contains punycode encoding.
• info (string | undefined): Additional information about the error, if any.

Example

const {checkDomain} = require("./tlds2")

const domainInfo = checkDomain('example.com');
console.log(domainInfo);
// Output: { error: null, punycode: false }

const invalidDomain = checkDomain('-invalid.domain');
console.log(invalidDomain);
// Output: { error: 'Invalid domain', punycode: false, info: 'Invalid label encoding' }
