Support for compound indexes about typegoose

[kevin-frugier]

I would really fancy a solution in the direction @jorge-recio mentioned.
I'm new to Typescript (not JS) otherwise I would have done a PR that does just that.

In the meantime, for anyone in need of compound indexes, I've done a temporary workaround in a fork where indexes can be given as indexes in the GetModelForClassOptions param of the getModelForClass method : https://github.com/kevin-frugier/typegoose
I've added the postinstall-build package in my fork so it can be used "as such" from GitHub (since compilation to JS is required).

e.g:

const options: GetModelForClassOptions = ...;
options.indexes = [{ fields: { firstName: 1, lastName: 1 }, options: { unique: true } }];
const UserModel = new User().getModelForClass(User, options);

Thanks for your quick response. I think it could be done whith a class level decorator like @indexes.

Hello!

Thanks for your interest in Typegoose. Unfortunately currently field-level index definitions are supported, and to support compound indexes, schema level index definition is required.

It is currently a missing feature, but i will assign this as an enhancement and if I have the time it will be done.

PS: PR-s are also appreciated!

How can I use your fork in my package.json?
I got an error when I use
"typegoose": "git+https://github.com/kevin-frugier/typegoose.git"

would it be possible to create an @Index() decorator, but for the class level? I wouldn't mind taking a stab at a PR, but I'd need to learn a lot about decorators
