[![License: MIT OR Apache-2.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT%20OR%20Apache--2.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

A Rust library that implements a type-safe version of the TypePrefix section of the [TypeID Specification](https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid).

## Features

- **Type-safe**: Ensures that TypeID prefixes conform to the specification.
- **Validation**: Provides robust validation for TypeID prefixes.
- **Sanitization**: Offers methods to clean and sanitize input strings into valid TypeID prefixes.
- **Zero-cost abstractions**: Designed to have minimal runtime overhead.
- **Optional tracing**: Integrates with the `tracing` crate for logging (optional feature).

## Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
typeid_prefix = "1.0.0"
```

To enable tracing support, add:

```toml
[dependencies]
typeid_prefix = { version = "1.0.0", features = ["instrument"] }
```

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```rust
use typeid_prefix::{TypeIdPrefix, Sanitize};
use std::convert::TryFrom;

fn main() {
    // Create a TypeIdPrefix from a valid string
    let prefix = TypeIdPrefix::try_from("user").unwrap();
    println!("Valid prefix: {}", prefix);

    // Attempt to create from an invalid string
    let result = TypeIdPrefix::try_from("Invalid_Prefix");
    assert!(result.is_err());

    // Sanitize an invalid string
    let sanitized = "Invalid_Prefix123".sanitize_and_create();
    println!("Sanitized prefix: {}", sanitized);
}
```

### Validation

The `TypeIdPrefix` type ensures that all instances conform to the TypeID specification:

- Maximum length of 63 characters
- Contains only lowercase ASCII letters and underscores
- Does not start or end with an underscore
- Starts and ends with a lowercase letter

```rust
use typeid_prefix::TypeIdPrefix;
use std::convert::TryFrom;

fn validate_prefix(input: &str) {
    match TypeIdPrefix::try_from(input) {
        Ok(prefix) => println!("Valid prefix: {}", prefix),
        Err(e) => println!("Invalid prefix: {}", e),
    }
}

fn main() {
    validate_prefix("valid_prefix");
    validate_prefix("Invalid_Prefix");
    validate_prefix("_invalid");
    validate_prefix("toolong_toolong_toolong_toolong_toolong_toolong_toolong_toolong");
}
```

### Sanitization

The `Sanitize` trait provides a method to clean and create a valid `TypeIdPrefix` from any string:

```rust
use typeid_prefix::Sanitize;

fn main() {
    let sanitized = "Invalid String 123!@#".sanitize_and_create();
    println!("Sanitized: {}", sanitized); // Outputs: invalidstring
}
```

### Optional Tracing

When the `instrument` feature is enabled, the crate will log validation errors using the `tracing` crate:

```toml
[dependencies]
typeid_prefix = { version = "1.0.0", features = ["instrument"] }
```

```rust
use typeid_prefix::Sanitize;

fn main() {
    // Set up your tracing subscriber here
    let _sanitized = "Invalid_Prefix!@#".sanitize_and_create();
    // Validation errors will be logged via tracing
}
```

## Use Cases

- **Database Systems**: Use `TypeIdPrefix` to ensure consistent and valid type prefixes for database schemas or ORM mappings.
- **API Development**: Validate and sanitize user input for API endpoints that require type prefixes.
- **Code Generation**: Generate valid type prefixes for code generation tools or macros.
- **Configuration Management**: Ensure configuration keys or identifiers conform to a consistent format.

## Safety and Correctness

This crate has been thoroughly tested and verified:

- Comprehensive unit tests
- Property-based testing with `proptest`
- Fuzz testing
- Formal verification with Kani

These measures ensure that the crate behaves correctly and never panics under normal usage.

## Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
