Resolve obfuscated IP addresses Node.js using the DNS module - node.js

Question

I know on a Mac OSX I can run this command: dns-sd -q a5b3ef18-2e66-4e24-91d2-893b93bbc1c1.local and it returns an IP address. Can I do this in Node.js? It seems like the dns module is mainly used for website -> IP, not IP -> IP (resolved) conversions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Note: The imputted addresses will be mDNS, converted by Bonjour. I found the Bonjour npm package/library, but don't think it works in this case. Also, I found mdns which has the mdns.dns_sd function but I cannot seem to figure out how to use it in my case.
Thanks!

I found a Node module that does exactly what you need.
Multicast-DNS is capable of querying mDNS IPs to the standard IP format. The snippet on their README does what you need:
var mdns = require('multicast-dns')()
mdns.on('response', function(response) {
console.log('got a response packet:', response)
})
mdns.on('query', function(query) {
console.log('got a query packet:', query)
})
// lets query for an A record for 'brunhilde.local'
mdns.query({
questions:[{
name: 'brunhilde.local',
type: 'A'
}]
})
Obviously you need to replace brunhilde.local with a valid mDNS ip. I simplified the code into this:
function query(mdns_ip){
return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
mdns.on('response', function(response) {
if(response.rcode === 'NOERROR'){
resolve(response.answers[0].data)
mdns.destroy()
} else {
reject(response.rcode)
mdns.destroy()
}
})
mdns.query({
questions:[{
name: mdns_ip,
type: 'A'
}]
})
})
}
