Class: CodecError

Defined in: src/Mnemonic/codecs.ts:37

Custom error class for codec encoding and decoding failures.

Thrown when a codec cannot successfully encode a value to a string or decode a string back to its typed representation. This allows callers to distinguish codec errors from other types of errors.

Example​

try {
    const value = JSONCodec.decode("not-valid-json");
} catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof CodecError) {
        console.error("Failed to decode:", error.message);
    }
}
