# sea-orm-typed-id
[](https://crates.io/crates/sea-orm-typed-id)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
A Rust library that provides a macro for generating type-safe database ID types for SeaORM.
## Caveat
You might not actually need this library; it’s just a macro, and you might be better off simply copying the code from src/lib.rs into your project.
## Features
- `all`: Enables all features
- `schema`: Enables `schemars::JsonSchema` support
- `utoipa`: Enables OpenAPI schema generation support
## Installation
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
sea-orm-typed-id = { version = "0.4.1", features = ["all"] }
```
## Usage
```rust
use sea_orm_typed_id::define_id;
define_id!(CakeId);
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "cakes")]
pub struct Cake {
pub id: CakeId,
}
define_id!(FillingId);
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "fillings")]
pub struct Filling {
pub id: FillingId,
}
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "cake_fillings")]
pub struct CakeFilling {
pub cake_id: CakeId,
pub filling_id: FillingId,
}
```
## Known Shortcomings
Typed IDs won't work with postgres arrays.
```rust
// ...
pub struct Model {
// ...
pub filling_ids: Vec<FillingId>, // Doesn't work
}
```
This won't compile because `Vec<FillingId>` doesn't implement [`sea_orm::TryGetable`](https://docs.rs/sea-orm/latest/sea_orm/trait.TryGetable.html) which we also can't add ourselves as both `Vec` and `sea_orm::TryGetable` are external.
One of possible workouts is to make fields private and add getter for it.
```rust
// ...
pub struct Model {
// ...
filling_ids: Vec<i32>,
}
impl Model {
pub fn filling_ids(&self) -> Vec<FillingId> {
self.filling_ids.iter().map(FillingId::from).collect()
}
}
```
