How to store + decode objects in golang using leveldb + gob

storage.go

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/gob"
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"github.com/syndtr/goleveldb/leveldb"
)

type Node struct {
	id   string
	body string

	CreatedAt time.Time
	UpdatedAt time.Time
}

var (
	NodeStorage *leveldb.DB
	NodeMemory  = make(map[string]*Node)
)

func main() {
	var err error
	NodeStorage, err = leveldb.OpenFile("level", nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err.Error())
		return
	}
	now := time.Now()
	n := Node{"42", "body", now, now}
	err = n.Save()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err.Error())
		return
	}

	nn, err := FindNode("42")

	nn.body = "another body"
	nn.Save()

	nn2, err := FindNode("42")

	fmt.Println(nn2)
}

func FindNode(nodeId string) (node *Node, err error) {
	node, inMem := NodeMemory[nodeId]
	if !inMem {
		var data []byte
		data, err = NodeStorage.Get([]byte(nodeId), nil)
		if err != nil {
			return
		}
		dec := gob.NewDecoder(bytes.NewReader(data))

		dec.Decode(node)
	}
	return
}

func (n *Node) Delete() (node Node, err error) {

	err = NodeStorage.Delete([]byte(n.id), nil)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	delete(NodeMemory, n.id)
	node = *n
	return
}

func (n *Node) Save() (err error) {
	n.UpdatedAt = time.Now()

	var data bytes.Buffer
	enc := gob.NewEncoder(&data)
	enc.Encode(*n)

	err = NodeStorage.Put([]byte(n.id), data.Bytes(), nil)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	if _, inMemory := NodeMemory[n.id]; !inMemory {
		NodeMemory[n.id] = n
	}
	return
}

dec.Decode(node) should be written as dec.Decode(&node)
