Implements logic for a `Cow<'static, str>` newtype where only `[A-Za-z0-9_]` are valid characters.
Implementations are provided for:
* `IdType::new`
* `IdType::new_unchecked` (with `#[doc(hidden)]`)
* `IdType::is_valid_id`
* `IdType::into_inner`
* `std::borrow::Borrow<str>`
* `std::convert::AsRef<str>`
* `std::convert::TryFrom<String>`
* `std::convert::TryFrom<&'static str>`
* `std::fmt::Display`
* `std::ops::Deref`
* `std::ops::DerefMut`
* `std::str::FromStr`
A separate error type is also generated, which indicates an invalid value when the ID type is instantiated with `new`.
# Usage
```rust
use std::borrow::Cow;
// Rename your ID type
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct MyIdType(Cow<'static, str>);
crate::id_newtype!(
MyIdType, // Name of the ID type
MyIdTypeInvalidFmt // Name of the invalid value error
);
```
If you have a procedural macro that checks for ID validity<sup>1</sup> at compile time, you may pass in its name as follows:
```rust
use std::borrow::Cow;
// replace this with your ID type's macro
use my_crate_static_check_macros::my_id_type;
// Rename your ID type
#[derive(Clone, Debug, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct MyIdType(Cow<'static, str>);
crate::id_newtype!(
MyIdType, // Name of the ID type
MyIdTypeInvalidFmt, // Name of the invalid value error
my_id_type // Name of the static check macro
);
```
<sup>1</sup> This crate was extracted from `peace`, so the `my_crate_static_check_macros` is not generated for you. You must implement it yourself. See [`static_check_macros`] for an example.
