Description
Discussed in https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-orm/discussions/2852
Originally posted by Paul-E December 13, 2025
The url library is a popular tool for parsing and representing URLs in Rust. It's got about 442 million downloads right now on crates.io. It's got a a parse and to_string implementation. url::Url's popularity, stable implementation, and simplicity make it a good candidate to include as a supported field type.
It seems like impl_timestamp have a macro, and something similar could be done for the types that DeriveValueTypeString supports to make it general.

Research direction
Start by reading the impl_timestamp macro and the types supported by DeriveValueTypeString, as suggested in the issue. Trace how those types are converted and tested, then determine the corresponding support needed for url::Url. Done means url::Url fields are supported consistently with the existing string-like value types.
