rust - How to implement `serde::Serialize` for a boxed trait object?

I ran into a problem trying to create a generic vector for a struct. This was my first attempt:

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Card {
    sections: Vec<Section<WidgetTrait>>
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Section<T: WidgetTrait> {
    header: String,
    widgets: Vec<T>
}

This has brought me to an error that Sized is not implemented and WidgetTrait size is not known at compile time.

My next attempt was to use Box<WidgetTrait> like so:

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Section {
    header: String,
    widgets: Vec<Box<WidgetTrait>>
}

Playground

This has led me to an error:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `WidgetTrait: serde::Serialize` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:11:10
   |
11 | #[derive(Serialize)]
   |          ^^^^^^^^^ the trait `serde::Serialize` is not implemented for `WidgetTrait`
   |
   = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `serde::Serialize` for `std::boxed::Box<WidgetTrait>`
   = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `serde::Serialize` for `std::vec::Vec<std::boxed::Box<WidgetTrait>>`
   = note: required by `serde::ser::SerializeStruct::serialize_field`

My goal is for the widgets vector in Section struct to be able to accept different types of widgets that implement WidgetTrait trait, just like you would with an interface.

For serializing Serde trait objects you should use erased-serde.

#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;

#[macro_use]
extern crate erased_serde;

extern crate serde;
extern crate serde_json;

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Card {
    sections: Vec<Section>,
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Section {
    header: String,
    widgets: Vec<Box<WidgetTrait>>,
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct Image {
    image_url: String,
}

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct KeyValue {
    top_label: String,
    content: String,
}

trait WidgetTrait: erased_serde::Serialize {}
impl WidgetTrait for Image {}
impl WidgetTrait for KeyValue {}

serialize_trait_object!(WidgetTrait);

fn main() {
    let card = Card {
        sections: vec![
            Section {
                header: "text".to_owned(),
                widgets: vec![
                    Box::new(Image {
                        image_url: "img".to_owned(),
                    }),
                    Box::new(KeyValue {
                        top_label: "text".to_owned(),
                        content: "text".to_owned(),
                    }),
                ],
            },
        ],
    };

    println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&card).unwrap());
}
