Same field name in different schemes about mongoose-sequence

[ramiel]

You can have the same name for two fields, but specify a different id for the counter.

FirstSchema = mongoose.Schema({
    ...
    internalCode: Number
});
FirstSchema.plugin(AutoIncrement, {id:'firstSchemaInternalCodeCounter', inc_field: 'internalCode'});

SecondShema = mongoose.Schema({
    ...
    internalCode: Number
});
SecondShema.plugin(AutoIncrement, {id:'secondSchemaInternalCodeCounter', inc_field: 'internalCode'});

Hi @ramiel

I encountered the same problem, and also for me, this solution worked.
Just as an idea... maybe you should update the docu a little bit ...
Something like ...

UserSchema.plugin(AutoIncrement, { id: '<unique_name_for_this_schema_counter>', inc_field: 'ID' });

I guess this would help a lot of devs ...

Great Plugin BTW... Thanks for sharing your knowledge !

Kind regards,

Good suggestion @jdriesen. I will, for sure. In a future version id will be mandatory and this problem will go away

I also ran into this problem. Any plans to make id mandatory?

[ramiel]

Actually yes. Any PR welcome :)
