How can I convert an HttpResponse body to a struct?

[GSGerritsen]

I have a handler for my server that returns Result<HttpResponse, ActixError>, and I am calling that handler from a different handler.

Which looks like: let response = handler(request).await?;

I would like to convert the body of response into a struct, but I'm not seeing how to get a byte slice of the body of that response.

I'd like to do something like this:

let some_struct = serde_json::from_slice::<SomeStruct>(handler(request).await?.body);
But I'm stuck on getting the body from the HttpResponse into a slice of u8.

Can anyone offer guidance? Thanks in advance.

I guess I'd suggest theres a different way to structure this so you don't have to call handlers from other handlers.
