I am receiving an error regarding 'TextEncoder' coming from joi-browser.min.js when using ie11. Any ideas how to polyfill this?

I run into the same error when trying to generate a coverage report within my vue.js app.

{
  "scripts": {
    "cover": cross-env NODE_ENV=coverage nyc --reporter=lcov --reporter=text npm run test --all,
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Doing the same using @hapi/joi < version 16.0.0 works perfectly.
This issue is probably related to https://github.com/hapijs/joi/issues/2141.

I suggest you use: https://github.com/anonyco/FastestSmallestTextEncoderDecoder to polyfill the missing functionality. You can also build your own browser version with some simple changes to the webpack config.

Supporting IE11 makes the bundle much bigger so it was excluded from the list of supported browsers. Can't make everyone happy.
