# souvenir
A type-safe, tagged identifier library.
The crate primarily provides the `Id` struct, which stores a 128-bit
identifier with its corresponding type (tag).
The String representation of an `Id` is the type's tag and the
128-bit value encoded into a variant of
[Crockford Base 32](https://www.crockford.com/base32.html).
Here is a simple example of how this crate can be used.
```rs
use souvenir::Id;
let id: Id = Id::random("user".parse().unwrap());
println!("{}", id);
let id2: Id = Id::parse("user_02v58c5a3fy30k560qrtg4").unwrap();
assert_eq!(id2.to_string(), "user_02v58c5a3fy30k560qrtg4");
```
Integrations for various libraries and databases are also (optionally)
available:
- (De)serialization with [`serde`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/)
- Random ID generation with [`rand`](https://docs.rs/rand/latest/rand/)
- Postgres, MySQL, and Sqlite support with
[`sqlx`](https://docs.rs/sqlx/latest/sqlx/) and
[`diesel`](https://docs.rs/diesel/latest/diesel/)
