type-uuid

This crate provides a way to specify a stable, unique identifier for Rust types.

Assigning UUIDs to Types

This crate provides the [TypeUuid] trait, which defines a single const item UUID. This value is a byte array containing the raw bytes of the UUID for the type.

You will have to manually specify the UUID for any type implementing [TypeUuid], but this crate provides a custom derive to make that easy to do:

```rust use type_uuid::TypeUuid;

[derive(TypeUuid)]

[uuid = "d4adfc76-f5f4-40b0-8e28-8a51a12f5e46"]

struct MyType; ```

While the derive handles the tedious work of converting the UUID into a byte array suitable for use with the [TypeUuid] trait, you'll still need to generate a valid UUID in order to assign it to your type. To do so, we recommend using https://www.uuidgenerator.net, which provides a quick way generate new UUIDs that you can paste into your code.
