mismatched types and web:Data<> problem when called from different file

[Leanerz]

Hi all,

I have rust folder like so:

main.rs
api/
- user_api/
-- mod.rs
-- routes.rs
-- user_api.rs

mod.rs:

mod routes;
mod user_api;

pub use routes::init_routes;
pub use user_api::{AddUsers, testOnly};

This function is inside: user_api.rs file:

    pub async fn AddUsers(cgrpc: APIClient<tonic::transport::Channel>, uid: u64) -> Result<TResponse<UserResponse>, Status> {
            let request = tonic::Request::new(UserUID {
                   uid
            });
        

            let response = cgrpc.clone().nuser(request).await;

            println!("RESPONSE={:?}", response);

            response
    }

This one inside routes.rs:

#[post("/adduser")]
async fn add_user(_req: HttpRequest, cgrpc: web::Data<APIClient<tonic::transport::Channel>>) -> HttpResponse {

    user_api::testOnly(1);

    match AddUsers(cgrpc, 1) {
        Ok(result) => HttpResponse::Ok().json(result.unwrap()),
        Err(err) => HttpResponse::Ok().json(err),
    }
}

But I get this error for cgrpc:

mismatched types

expected struct `api::user_api::user_api::client_grpc_api::gateway_client::APIClient`, found struct `actix_web::web::Data`

note: expected struct `api::user_api::user_api::client_grpc_api::gateway_client::APIClient<tonic::transport::Channel>`
         found struct `actix_web::web::Data<api::user_api::routes::client_grpc_api::gateway_client::APIClient<tonic::transport::Channel>>`rustc(E0308)

Inside main.rs:

    ...
    HttpServer::new(move || {
        App::new()
            .data(cgrpc.clone())
            .wrap(middleware::Compress::new(ContentEncoding::Br))
            .wrap(middleware::Logger::default())
            .service(web::scope("/user").configure(api::user_api::init_routes))
    })
    .bind("127.0.0.1:80")?
    .run()
    .await

I can copy paste all functions inside user_api.rs to routes.rs and use directly:

web::Data<APIClient<tonic::transport::Channel>>

But for organization purpose, I need it like so, your help will be appreciated.

Thank you !
