{
  "digitalocean": {
    "token": "your-digitalocean-ouath-token"
  }
}
{% endhighlight %}

## Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to DigitalOcean.

## Usage
Example Javascript:

{% highlight js %}
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE')
var DIGITALOCEAN = NewDnsProvider("digitalocean", "DIGITALOCEAN");

D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DIGITALOCEAN),
    A("test","1.2.3.4")
);
{%endhighlight%}

## Limitations

- Digitalocean DNS doesn't support `;` value with CAA-records ([DigitalOcean documentation](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/how-to/create-caa-records/))
- While Digitalocean DNS supports TXT records with multiple strings,
  their implementation is lacking. It does not support strings that
  include double-quotes nor many long strings. The length limits may
  restrict your ability to use very long DKIM or SPF records.
