# use-ulid
Thin ULID parsing and formatting helpers for `RustUse`.
## Install
```toml
[dependencies]
use-ulid = "0.0.1"
```
## Foundation
`use-ulid` wraps the established `ulid` crate with a small `UlidId` type plus parsing, formatting, and validation helpers that match `use-uuid`.
## Example
```rust
use use_ulid::UlidId;
let value = UlidId::parse("01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV")?;
assert_eq!(value.to_canonical(), "01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV");
# Ok::<(), use_ulid::UlidIdError>(())
```
## When to use directly
Choose `use-ulid` when ULID parsing or formatting is the only identifier concern you need.
## Scope
- ULID generation policy is intentionally left to the upstream crate.
- This crate stays focused on parsing, formatting, and validation.
- Broader registries and persistence policies are out of scope.
## Status
`use-ulid` is a pre-1.0 crate with a deliberately thin wrapper API.
