Typescript Guid

A Typescript safe implementation of a GUID that allows for validation of the format while limiting boilerplate to reference the value itself. Uses types not classes to be more lightweight / reusable

export class Xyz{
    public id: Guid;

        this.id = parseGuid(id);
    }
    //or
    constructor(id: `${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}-${string}`){

    }
}
