Resolving domain names

Domains can have many types of data associated with them; the most common is cryptocurrency addresses, or in the context of Hedera, account IDs. HNS supports storing and resolving the account IDs from a given domain name, if associated.

Resolver.resolveSLD​

Method:​

resolveSLD(domain: string): Promise<string | undefined>

Parameter:​

domain: string: Any valid string that could represent a domain name.

Return:​

Promise<string | undefined>: If the specified domain name resolves to an account ID, the account ID will be returned. If it does not resolve to an account ID, undefined is returned.

Example:​

// Initialize the resolver
const res = await resolver.resolveSLD(`hns.hbar`)
// 0.0.838546
