# type-uuid | ||
|
||
This crate provides a way to specify a stable, unique identifier for Rust types. | ||
|
||
## Assigning UUIDs to Types | ||
|
||
This crate provides the [`TypeUuid`] trait, which defines a single const item | ||
`UUID`. This value is a byte array containing the raw bytes of the UUID for the | ||
type. | ||
|
||
You will have to manually specify the UUID for any type implementing | ||
[`TypeUuid`], but this crate provides a custom derive to make that easy to do: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
use type_uuid::TypeUuid; | ||
|
||
#[derive(TypeUuid)] | ||
#[uuid = "d4adfc76-f5f4-40b0-8e28-8a51a12f5e46"] | ||
struct MyType; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
While the derive handles the tedious work of converting the UUID into a byte | ||
array suitable for use with the [`TypeUuid`] trait, you'll still need to | ||
generate a valid UUID in order to assign it to your type. To do so, we | ||
recommend using https://www.uuidgenerator.net, which provides a quick way | ||
generate new UUIDs that you can paste into your code. | ||
