Trait PrefixedId

    fn id_prefix() -> String { ... }
}

Sea-orm Newtype ID is a ID generation system 🐚

• 🎲 Currently uses nanoid
• 🦓 Stripe style IDs allow for users to see what kind of IDs are being used without having to log them in the database

Rationale

• Stringly typed IDs can be very error prone, think of the case where you are using more than one ID at a time PrefixId

Is a trait that is used to add prefix based ID generation to a given domain object, e.g. an object that gets inserted into the database

Required Associated Constants

const PREFIX: &'static str

The prefix that is desired

Provided Methods

fn new_id() -> String

Generated a new id with the given prefix

fn id_prefix() -> String

Return the prefix

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
