Self referencing model

See original GitHub issue

Hello and thx for your lib,

I’d like to self-reference a model, but I’m not sure how to do it as I’m quite new to Python, what I do is:

class Player(Document):
    created_on = DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, db_field='d')
    name = StringField(required=True, db_field='n')

Player.friends = ListField(ReferenceField(Player))

But I get an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_type' in python3.6/site-packages/graphene_mongo/converter.py

Am I doing it wrong or is it not possible?

@mehdiym: It’s a good point!

Graphene-Mongo does not support list of self-reference yet, and I am working on it now. Hope I can get back to you soon.

Wow, you did it fast, thank you very much. I’ll try that soon (it’s a personal project on my spare time, for now anyway)
