Serde: Handling uuid::Uuid

[mann-ed]

I was trying to serialize a struct with uuid in it and received the following error.

src/Book/model.rs:3:45: 3:45 error: the trait bound `uuid::Uuid: Book::model::_IMPL_DESERIALIZE_FOR_Book::_serde::Deserialize` is not satisfied [E0277]
src/Book/model.rs:3 #[derive(Queryable, Serialize, Deserialize)]
                                                                ^

Here is the struct

use uuid::Uuid;

#[derive(Queryable, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct Book {
    pub book_id: Uuid,
    pub book_abbr: Option<String>,
    pub book_volume: Option<String>,
    pub book_name: String,
    pub book_altname: Option<String>,
}

Is there something that i am missing?

Thanks

You need to enable the serde feature flag on the uuid crate in order for it to provide Serialize and Deserialize impls.

In case you're wondering, like I did, how to specify it, here's an example:

uuid = { version = "0.7", features = ["v4", "serde"] }

Have a look at the documentation: https://docs.rs/uuid/0.7.1/uuid/#dependencies.
