How to use serde_json in pallet? - substrate

Question

On using serde_json in my pallet dependency it throws this throws these error:-
``
#[weight=10_000]
pub fn insert_data_class(origin,app_id:Vec<u8>,db_id:Vec<u8>,cid:Vec<u8>,data:Vec<u8>,signature:H512)->DispatchResult{
let caller = ensure_signed(origin)?;
let app_data = alioth_register::Module::<T>::check_ownership(&caller,&app_id);
ensure!(app_data.0,Error::<T>::AppNotFound);
let data_str = String::from_utf8(data.clone()).unwrap();
let data_json = json!(data_str);
let uid:Vec<u8> = data_json["uid"].to_string().as_bytes().to_vec();
//let uuid_str = data_json["uuid"].to_string();
let uuid:Vec<u8> = data_json["uuid"].to_string().as_bytes().to_vec();
let data1 = data.clone();
let data1 = String::from_utf8(data1).unwrap();
let user_data = alioth_users::Module::<T>::check_user_extern(&uuid,&app_id);

//I needed a public key for this purpose we are going to write a function in alioth-users
let pub_key_ref:(bool,H256) = alioth_users::Module::<T>::get_public_key(&uuid,&app_id);
ensure!(pub_key_ref.0,Error::<T>::ObjectNotCreated);
//now we are going to verify the signature for the further transaction
ensure!(sp_io::crypto::sr25519_verify(&Signature::from_h512(signature),data1.as_bytes(),&Public::from_h256(pub_key_ref.1)),Error::<T>::SignatureNotVerified);
//its over now we are going ahead to check the uniqness of data and insert it later.
let data_from_self = Self::check_obj_store(&uid,&cid);
ensure!(!data_from_self.0,Error::<T>::DataIsNotUnique);
let struct_data = ObjectData{
duid:uid,
object:data,
};
if data_from_self.1==0{
let vec_data = vec![struct_data];
<ObjectStore>::insert(cid,vec_data);
Self::deposit_event(Event::ObjectCreated());
}
else{
let mut vec_data = <ObjectStore>::get(&cid);
vec_data.insert(vec_data.len(),struct_data);
<ObjectStore>::insert(cid,vec_data);
Self::deposit_event(Event::ObjectCreated());
}
Ok(())

Answer 1

getrandom/js feature needs to be activated in your Cargo.toml:
# We enable it only for web-wasm check
# See https://docs.rs/getrandom/0.2.1/getrandom/#webassembly-support
getrandom = { version = "0.2", features = ["js"] }
(I don't think this is a serde_json specific error btw)
