Identity

The Identity type is an enum that allows for the handling of both Address and ContractId types. This is useful in cases where either type is accepted, e.g. receiving funds from an identified sender, but not caring if the sender is an address or a contract.

An Identity is implemented as follows.

{{#include ../../../../../../sway-lib-std/src/identity.sw:docs_identity}}

Casting to an Identity must be done explicitly:

{{#include ../../../code/operations/namespace/src/lib.sw:identity_cast}}
