A pointer is a reference to a struct or variable. In this pointer is only the reference to the other object stored and not the value from the other object.

type User struct {
    Firstname string `json:"firstname"`
    Lastname string `json:"lastname"`
}

// reference to t
func (u *User) GetFirstname() string{
		return &u.Firstname
}

user := user{Firstname: "John", Lastname: "Doe"}
firstname := user.GetFirnstname()

This is only build logical: you need to create a intermediate element which you cant bind.

• (this is a info from Fan)

func GetProject() *[]Project{
		type tempProject []*Project

		dbProjects := GetProjectFromDB()
		var tempProjectObject tempProject
		tempProjectObject = dbProject
		
		return &tempproject
}

func GetProjectFromDB() []*Project {
		var project []*Project
		return project
}
