How to convert []*Cookie to []Cookie in Golang

Question

I have a []*Cookie array, but how to get []Cookie array? I tried to use the * symbol but there was a syntax error.

Why do you need to do the conversion? – peterSO Mar 05 '19 at 02:16 — peterSO, Mar 05 '19 at 02:16

Go does not provide an automatic conversion from slice of pointers to values to a slice of values.

Write a loop to do the conversion:

result := make([]Cookie, len(source))
for i := range result {
    result[i] = *source[i]
}
