Foundation

use-identifier provides a validated Identifier type plus a lightweight TypedIdentifier<K> wrapper for cases where an identifier should carry domain meaning without changing its storage shape.

Example

use use_identifier::{Identifier, IdentifierKind, TypedIdentifier};

struct Account;

impl IdentifierKind for Account {
    const NAME: &'static str = "account";
}

let plain = Identifier::new("acct_42")?;
let typed = TypedIdentifier::<Account>::new("acct_42")?;

assert_eq!(plain.as_str(), typed.as_str());
assert_eq!(typed.kind_name(), "account");
# Ok::<(), use_identifier::IdentifierError>(())

When to use directly

Choose use-identifier when plain validated identifiers or a typed wrapper are the only ID surface you need.

Scope

• Identifiers stay string-backed.
• Validation stays predictable and ASCII-oriented.
• Registry lookup, persistence, and generation policies are out of scope.

Status

use-identifier is a pre-1.0 crate with a deliberately small API.
