How to use InstanceType? about typegoose

[CodeRhymesLife]

I ran into something like this but kept getting errors. It took me too long to realize there's another InstanceType defined in es6. If you can't get InstanceType working make sure you're using the typegoose InstanceType by writing the following at the top of your file:

import { InstanceType } from 'typegoose'

@CodeRhymesLife thank you for your comment above... I've been struggling with this for a while now. I would love to see typegoose get updated with a different name for that type to avoid naming collisions...

Hello! Basically you can substitute Promise<User & mongoose.Document> with Promise<InstanceType<User>>

InstanceType is nothing else but a shorthand for the logical and of your class and the mongoose.Document (https://github.com/szokodiakos/typegoose#instancetype).

Thanks, it works :)

@CodeRhymesLife Exactly the answer I need
@SpencerKaiser A warning in the README would also have saved some anguish. It's unfortunate that it produced 0 warnings in VSCode for me
