How to Write a struct onto Ledger State in Hyperledger Fabric

If you're diving into the world of Hyperledger Fabric for the first time, it's common to face challenges, especially when it comes to writing chaincode. One of the important tasks in developing smart contracts is correctly managing and storing data. This blog will guide you through how to write a struct onto the ledger state using Go, addressing common issues beginners might encounter.

The Problem: Writing Structs to the Ledger

In your chaincode, you have created a Data struct and a mapping that stores its values using strings as keys. Here’s a snippet of your code:

When attempting to store this struct in the ledger, you encounter the following error:

This error arises because stub.PutState requires a []byte type for the data being stored in the ledger, but you are attempting to pass the Data struct directly.

The Solution: Using JSON Marshalling

To resolve this issue, you need to convert your struct into a format that can be serialized into bytes. The standard approach is to use the json.Marshal function, which converts Go data structures into JSON-encoded bytes. Here’s how you can implement this in your addVData function:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Import the JSON Package
Make sure to import the JSON package at the top of your Go file:

Modify the addVData Function
Within your addVData function, replace the PutState line with a marshalled version of your struct:

Explanation of the Changes:

Marshal the Struct: We create a JSON representation of the Data struct using json.Marshal(d). This converts your Go struct into a []byte, suitable for the PutState method.

Error Handling: It's crucial to check for any errors during the marshalling process and handle them appropriately.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can effectively write a struct onto the ledger state in Hyperledger Fabric. Emphasizing error handling and ensuring correct data formatting will facilitate smoother development of your smart contracts.
