openalias

OpenAlias (oa1:) TXT record parsing and recipient resolution over a DNSSEC-validating TXT resolver.

Usage

import 'package:openalias/openalias.dart';

final resolver = OpenAliasResolver(
  resolver: txtResolver, // a ValidatingTxtResolver
  trustedValidators: [DnssecResolver.validator],
  application: 'xmr',
  validateAddress: isValidMoneroAddress,
);
final recipient = await resolver.resolve('donate@getmonero.org');
print(recipient.address);

normalizeOpenAlias lowercases an alias and turns user@domain into user.domain. parseOpenAliasRecord and selectOpenAliasRecipient work on record strings without DNS.

Trust model

This package does no networking and no DNSSEC validation. resolve accepts a TxtAnswer only when its question is the normalized alias and its validator is identical to one of trustedValidators; the component that performed the validation sets validator, never glue code. checksum and address_signature are carried but not verified. recipient_name and tx_description are untrusted display text. Records whose recipient_address fails validateAddress, or that disagree about the address for the application, fail the lookup.

Configuration

• application: the oa1: prefix, such as xmr.
• validateAddress: the wallet's address check. validateRecord adds field checks.
• selection: uniqueAddress (default) requires one address across matching records; first stops at the first matching record.
• allowPaymentId: tx_payment_id fails the lookup unless set.

Development

bash tool/check.sh runs format, analyze, the tests, pub publish --dry-run and the example. No network access is needed.
