padLeftEncoder

function padLeftEncoder<TEncoder>(encoder, offset): TEncoder;

Adds left padding to the given encoder, shifting the encoded value forward by offset bytes whilst increasing the size of the encoder accordingly.

For more details, see padLeftCodec.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
`TEncoder` extends `AnyEncoder`

Parameter	Type	Description
`encoder`	`TEncoder`	The encoder to pad.
`offset`	`number`	The number of padding bytes to add before encoding.

TEncoder

A new encoder with left padding applied.

const encoder = padLeftEncoder(getU16Encoder(), 2);
const bytes = encoder.encode(0xffff); // 0x0000ffff (0xffff written at offset 2)
