I have bytes32 data which needs to be converted into a string, then use to get value from mapping(string => string)

Trying to convert bytes32 to string using : string(abi.encodePacked(temp))

It is working fine:

enter image description here

Mapping contains key value pair : "har0 => "hello"

mapping

But when I uses the same string(converting from bytes32) in mapping to get the value, it doesn't gives value.

You are trying to decode packed data, which is not possible with abi.decode. As abi.decode can only decode the data that's not packed.

The correct way to decode a bytes input is this

  function convert(bytes memory data) public pure returns (string memory) {
        return abi.decode(data,(string));
    }

And to get the mapping:

function getmap(bytes memory key) public view returns (string memory) {
    return map[convert(key)];
}

try this and it will be working.

In case you really want to work with ancodePacked, you can look into some assembly code for this. Here is a relatable answer : How to decode `encodePacked` data
