Data not saving correctly about typegoose

[vinczedani]

Hi @dekaha1

Thanks for using typegoose and reporting your issue. I currently have no time to reproduce your issue. But I think I might know what is going wrong.

First You don't pass down your existing mongoose to Typegoose. You should do it like the following:

getModelForClass(User, { existingMongoose: mongoose })

The other thing is, that you use the ref as 'UserModel'. I think it wont work this way. typegoose creates models based on the constructor name (in this case 'User'). So you should try the following inside your bus Model description:

driver: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User' }, 

I hope you will be able to resolve your issues based on these comments.
May I ask, why are you using booth classic mongoose and typegoose at the same time?

Cheers,
Daniel

Sorry for the bad styling

Car Model does not extend Typegoose

import * as mongoose from 'mongoose'
const Model = mongoose.Schema
const CarModel = new Model (
  { color: String,
  driver: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'UserModel' }, 
  })

UserModel extends Typegoose

export class User extends Typegoose {
@prop()
public name: string;
}

export const UserModel = new User().getModelForClass(User)

Different file to create Data to save

const autoMobile = {};
autoMobile.color = 'black';
autoMobile.driver = new UserModel({name: 'Bob'});
Car.create(autoMobile, (createdCar: any) => { return createdCar; })

Everything is saved correctly except the name attribute on the userModel. Mogoose even creates the ID correctly. Any help is much appreciated

@dekaha1 thanks, { existingMongoose: mongoose } is what I needed too.

I'd love to see an example of how to avoid installing mongoose in my project completely – is that possible? I'm currently having trouble getting the example in readme.md working without the existingMongoose setting.

Hey @vinczedani, your suggestion to add { existingMongoose: mongoose } fixed it for me too. Cheers!

not possible, because as the name says its "typescript" + "mongoose" = "typegoose" so by design, it will not be supported without mongoose, typegoose is just a "wrapper" for schemas & models, not for the functions

Update:
in v6.0.0, mongoose is still a peer-dependencie, but could be get as import { mongoose } from "@hasezoey/typegoose"
