Create a custom encoder

You can extend TellThem with your own encoder easily.

You will need to create a new class that implements the Encoder interface that can be imported directly from @adaloop/tellthem.

export interface Encoder<T extends Serializable> {
  encode(message: ChannelMessage<T>): string
  decode(message: string): Promise<ChannelMessage<T> | null>
}

Feel free to check inspirations from the existing encoders to create your own.
