i am trying to pass a coin struct name as vector,

0x1::aptos::AptosCoin

You can use serializeStr and toUint8Array methods of BCS serializer

• test cases

@0xjunha can you check this out??
const coin = result[0]; if(coin.token_standard === "v1"){ const serializer = new Serializer(); serializer.serializeStr(coin.asset_type); coin_type = serializer.toUint8Array(); }
my string :
0xe9142d6a078718688cb6804e3379157f8a19378df1cc97d8de10df5ed54c5869::simpu_coin::SimpuCoin

and this is string being returned from view function
Y0xe9142d6a078718688cb6804e3379157f8a19378df1cc97d8de10df5ed54c5869::simpu_coin::SimpuCoin

and coin types are not matching
ECOIN_TYPE_DO_NOT_MATCH

Do you mean there's a Y at the beginning of the string? Can you share the full context?

[ajaythxkur]

Yes there is Y in the start

[ajaythxkur]

I'm passing without y but getting y from view function

[ajaythxkur]

#[view]
public fun coin_as_string_in_token(object_address: address): String acquires CoinInfo {
assert_coin_info_exists(object_address);
utf8(borrow_global(object_address).coin_type)
}

Its working fine in tests. There is some issue with the above code while serializing

[ajaythxkur]

@0xjunha i deserialized it and its giving the correct value
const serializer = new Serializer(); serializer.serializeStr(coin.asset_type); coin_type = serializer.toUint8Array(); const deserializer = new Deserializer(serializer.toUint8Array()); console.log(deserializer.deserializeStr())

                    is it because i am trying to pass vector<u8> to Option<vector<u8>>??
