In my MongoDB setup, I have created an interface that defines a schema using mongoose as an ODM.
import mongoose, { model, Schema, Model, Document } from "mongoose";
import { IUser } from "./user";
import { IPost } from "./posts";
export interface IComment extends Document {
post: IPost;
replyTo: IComment;
owner: IUser;
content: string;
replies: IComment[];
createdAt: Date;
updatedAt: Date;
upvotes: number;
downvotes: number;
}
// ...mongoose schema declaration omitted
Upon compiling Typescript, I encountered the following error:
Type error: Type of property 'replyTo' circularly references itself in mapped type 'LeanDocument<IComment>'.
This issue never occurred when I was using
