The dnsPromises.lookupService() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the promises object of dns module which is used to resolve the addresses and port number to hostname and service using operating system's underlying getnameinfo implementation.
Syntax:
javascript
Output: Here name of my computer is my-lappy
javascript
Output:
dnsPromises.lookupService( address, port )Parameters: This method has two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- address: It specifies a string which denotes address to be resolved.
- port: It is a number that specifies the port number of the address whose service to be resolved.
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.lookupService() method
// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;
// Calling dnsPromises.lookupService() method
// for 127.0.0.1 port number 22
dnsPromises.lookupService('127.0.0.1', 22).then((res) => {
console.log(res.hostname, res.service);
});

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.lookupService() method
// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;;
// Setting options for dnsPromises.lookup() method
const options = {
// Setting family as 4 i.e. IPv4
family: 4,
hints: dns.ADDRCONFIG | dns.V4MAPPED,
};
dnsPromises.lookup('geeksforgeeks.org', options).then((response) => {
if(response){
console.log(response);
// Calling dnsPromises.lookupService() method
dnsPromises.lookupService(response.address, 80).then((res) => {
console.log(res.hostname, res.service);
});
}
});
{ address: '34.218.62.116', family: 4 }
