Is the project meant to be called Ric and can it be changed so something else? #22

Is the project meant to be called Ric and can it be changed so something else? I was thinking ex_cid.

Reason for wanting to change it is so that if we use ex_cid as a dependency we do not get any errors with modules/files having the same names (why I changed filenames in this commit).

See following link... https://github.com/dwyl/cid/blob/master/mix.exs#L1-L6

@RobStallion did you mean "rid"? (the original name being "Resource ID" ...) Yes, all instances of Rid should be changed to Cid.

🤦‍♂️ I typo-ed what I thought was a typo. Thanks for the quick response 👍

@nelsonic With regards to...

Yes, all instances of Rid should be changed to Cid.

This will cause a conflict with the ex_cid module that I am using as a dependency as it's main module is also called CID?

I have named our module ex_cid for the time being but change to something else if anyone has another suggestion. (also if and when we build our own version of the functions provided by ex_cid and it's list of deps (see https://github.com/dwyl/cid/pull/19) we can change the name back to CID without consequence)
