Struct `ID`

An object ID. This is used to reference Sui Objects. This is *not* guaranteed to be globally unique--anyone can create an ID from a UID or from an object, and ID's can be freely copied and dropped. Here, the values are not globally unique because there can be multiple values of type ID with the same underlying bytes. For example, object::id(&obj) can be called as many times as you want for a given obj, and each ID value will be identical.
public struct ID has copy, drop, store
Fields
bytes: address

Struct `UID`

Globally unique IDs that define an object's ID in storage. Any Sui Object, that is a struct with the key ability, must have id: UID as its first field. These are globally unique in the sense that no two values of type UID are ever equal, in other words for any two values id1: UID and id2: UID, id1 != id2. This is a privileged type that can only be derived from a TxContext. UID doesn't have the drop ability, so deleting a UID requires a call to delete.
public struct UID has store
Fields
id: sui::object::ID

Implementation
public fun uid_to_address(uid: &UID): address {

Function `new`

Create a new object. Returns the UID that must be stored in a Sui object. This is the only way to create UIDs.

    UID {
        id: ID { bytes: ctx.fresh_object_address() },
    }
}

Function `delete`

Delete the object and its UID. This is the only way to eliminate a UID. This exists to inform Sui of object deletions. When an object gets unpacked, the programmer will have to do something with its UID. The implementation of this function emits a deleted system event so Sui knows to process the object deletion
public fun delete(id: sui::object::UID)

public fun delete(id: UID) {
    let UID { id: ID { bytes } } = id;
    delete_impl(bytes)
}

    borrow_uid(obj).id
}

Function `borrow_id`

public fun borrow_id<T: key>(obj: &T): &sui::object::ID

}

Function `id_bytes`

Implementation
public fun id_address<T: key>(obj: &T): address {
    borrow_uid(obj).id.bytes
}

Function `borrow_uid`

Get the UID for obj. Safe because Sui has an extra bytecode verifier pass that forces every struct with the key ability to have a distinguished UID field. Cannot be made public as the access to UID for a given object must be privileged, and restrictable in the object's module.
fun borrow_uid<T: key>(obj: &T): &sui::object::UID
Implementation
native fun borrow_uid<T: key>(obj: &T): &UID;

}

Function `delete_impl`

Implementation
native fun delete_impl(id: address);

Function `record_new_uid`

fun record_new_uid(id: address)
Implementation
native fun record_new_uid(id: address);
