Getting a request from Hyper, parsing the JSON, and turning it into a struct in rust

I'm trying to make a webserver that accepts some parameters as JSON, and turns them into a struct which I'll then store somewhere else in my app.

I have this data struct in a file called status.rs:

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}; #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] pub struct Status { pub id: String, pub rssi: Option<i8>, pub carrier: Option<String>, pub timestamp: u64, } 

I am then using the following code inside a service in Hyper to try to parse the body of the request and turn it into my struct. The only difference is that I want to add the timestamp field according to the timestamp on the server, not on the client:

let timestamp: u64 = SystemTime::now() .duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH) .expect("PANIC! Time is running backwards!") .as_secs(); Box::new(req.into_body().concat2().map(|body| { let body_bytes = body.into_bytes(); let body_str = match str::from_utf8(&body_bytes) { Ok(v) => v, Err(e) => { // TODO: this is shitty error handling panic!("Unable to read UTF8 input: {}", e); } }; let input_data: Value = serde_json::from_str(body_str).unwrap(); let data = Status { id: input_data.get("id").unwrap(), timestamp: timestamp, rssi: input_data.get("rssi"), carrier: input_data.get("carrier"), }; update(data); })); 

The update function just inserts it into a data storage structure.

I have tried doing this in several different ways, but this way gives me the problem that each one of these fields is of type Option<&Value> (I think).

Hopefully the outcome I'm trying to achieve is clear enough, I just have no idea how to take the request body, parse the JSON, add in a timestamp, and package it up in a struct which I then store in my database.

How should I go about this?
