isMalformedId()
function isMalformedId(error: unknown): boolean;
True when the API rejected an id as malformed: a 409 carrying error_code
217, which it sends both for a value that does not base58-decode to 16 bytes
and for one whose version nibble is not 7. That is a bad reference rather
than a conflict, so it usually deserves a different message from
isConflict.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type |
|---|---|
error | unknown |
Returns
boolean
Example
if (isMalformedId(error)) throw new Error(`Not a valid Comms id: ${ref}`)
