is-a-dev/register

This system is an automated service for managing free subdomain registrations on the is-a.dev domain. It processes user-submitted JSON configurations to generate and publish corresponding DNS records to Cloudflare. The codebase includes validation logic to enforce naming conventions, ownership rules, and DNS integrity, alongside utilities for managing reserved domains and pull request workflows.

This change introduces the initial codebase for the is-a.dev free subdomain service. It adds dnsconfig.js, which automates the publication of DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.) to Cloudflare based on user-submitted JSON files, and includes a .prettierrc for code formatting. The repository also establishes its legal and operational framework with a new MIT License, a comprehensive Terms of Service, and a README detailing the registration process and service announcements.

The util directory now includes a suite of new tools and configuration files to support domain reservation and pull request workflows. A new raw-api.js script generates a v2 API output by processing internal and reserved domain lists alongside user domain files, ensuring redirect\_config and proxied fields are correctly included. Validation is handled by check-pr-template.cjs, which enforces required checkboxes and sections in PR bodies while allowing bypasses for trusted users or specific labels, and check-reserved-order.cjs ensures reserved.json remains alphabetically sorted. Operational data is centralized in new JSON files: reserved.json lists blocked subdomains, internal.json defines internal service names, trusted.json identifies authorized users, and disallowed-cnames.json blocks specific CNAME targets. Additionally, add-reserved-subdomain.cjs provides an interactive CLI to safely add new entries to the reserved list.

util · high confidence

The domain validation logic previously located in \utils/domain.js\ has been removed from the codebase. This change eliminates the \getDomains\ function, which read and parsed domain JSON files, and the \validateDomainData\ function, which enforced constraints on domain descriptions, HTTPS settings, and DNS record structures (CNAME/A).

utils · high confidence

Added a new test suite covering JSON file structure, naming conventions, and DNS record validity. The tests enforce that domain files reside in the correct directory, use lowercase names without consecutive hyphens, and contain only allowed fields (owner, records, proxied, redirect\_config). It validates that subdomains have valid parent chains, that nested subdomains share the parent's owner, and that single-character subdomains are unique per owner. Record-level checks ensure A/AAAA addresses are public and well-formed, CNAMEs and URLs do not self-reference, and proxy settings are only enabled when compatible record types are present.

tests · high confidence

The project has switched its package manager from Yarn to npm, replacing the \yarn.lock\ file with a \package-lock.json\. This change includes updating the test runner from Jest to Ava (v8) and adding \fs-extra\ and \Prettier\ as development dependencies. The \package.json\ was also updated to use ES modules (\"type": "module"\) and adjusted scripts to work with the new tooling.
