Function: tryGetErrorCode()

tryGetErrorCode(error: unknown): string | undefined

Defined in: shared/utils/errorCodes.ts:16

Attempts to extract a stable string error code from an unknown error value.

Parameters​

error​

unknown

Returns​

string | undefined

Remarks​

Many Node/Electron APIs attach a string code property (e.g. ENOENT). This helper centralizes the extraction to avoid scattered casts.

For example, instead of writing:

(error as { code?: unknown }).code;
