This crate mainly deals with issuing and maintaining stability of indices. It provides 4 structs and each helps in different area. This library was created for my game development endeavor. Not going great on that front as I kept restarting the project. However, I saw these utility structures coming back multiple times so I'm making a crate for them.
sh
cargo add stable-id
| Struct | Type | Suggestion | Description |
| ------------ | ------ | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Eids] | Id | Dense data | You want a way to create ids, and do care about recovering ids. |
| [Sequence] | Id | Sparse data | You want a way to create ids, and don't care about recovering ids, but you don't want to use the HashMap-based [Entities] struct. |
| [Entities] | Memory | Sparse data | You want mix sequence (ids not recycled) and HashMap together. |
| [Tec] | Memory | Dense data | You want to use a vec to store data, but need constant entity removal. [Tec] reclaims the spaces for you as you insert more new items. |
