Porting to v5, issue with FromForm

[InstinctBas]

Finally diving into converting our code to 5.0 and running into a weird issue with FromForm

I've got a form like this:

#[derive(FromForm, Serialize)]
pub struct MyForm {
	name: String,
	type: Option<String>,
	include_something: Option<bool>,
}

Which is used as:

#[get("/?<search..>")]
fn list(search: Form<MyForm>) -> ...

I'm now getting a compilation error like this:

the trait `FromFormField<'_>` is not implemented for `rocket::form::Form<MyForm>`

I've tried adding lifetime thingies to it but that didn't help. Seeing it's complaining about FromFormField I'm guessing one of the fields in my struct is not supported?

Any suggestions what I should change?

You can remove the wrapper Form<T> from your parameters in v0.5: see here.

#[get("/?<search..>")]
fn list(search: MyForm) -> {}

Brilliant! That is an amazing improvement, could probably use an example showing this off in the documentation where its discussing forms...

Which you're linking and now I'm scratching my head why I missed it..
