  • ip_address: This parameter specifies an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) to be resolved.

Return Value:

This method returns error, hostname. Below examples illustrate the use of

dnsPromises.reverse() method

in Node.js:

Example 1:

javascript 
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   
// dnsPromises.reverse() method

// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;
 
// Calling dnsPromises.reverse() method 
dnsPromises.reverse('31.13.66.35').then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
});

Output:

[ 'edge-star-mini-shv-01-iad3.facebook.com' ]

Example 2:

javascript 
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   
// dnsPromises.reverse() method

// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;
 
// Calling dnsPromises.reverse() method 
// asynchronously 
(async function() {
    
    // Records from reverse function
    const records = await dnsPromises.reverse(
                        '34.218.62.116');
    
    // Printing  records
    console.log("from async: ");
    console.log(records);   
})();

Output:

from async:
[ 'ec2-34-218-62-116.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com' ]
