Typescript declaration for `this` object

Hello everybody this is my first time using this library and I’m wondering if there’s a way to define the return type of the collection object instead of it returning any

Thanks in advance

I’m not sure—looks like it should be a Collection? https://github.com/GraphQLGuide/apollo-datasource-mongodb/blob/master/index.d.ts#L39

@GeorgGroenendaal Bit of a punt, but is your problem that ActualDataType isn’t derived from Mongoose Document as per Issue 78?

I’ve tried to rejig the types to solve both issues but it’s difficult. I think the underlying problem is a need for separation of concerns. The Mongoose datasource needs to be in a separate class, perhaps a separate package, from the MongoClient one. Just to make the typings work.

But, giving it a lot of thought while using this package in anger for a couple of months, I’m beginning to conclude that a better solution might be a Data Source that works with any Data Loader and separate Data Loaders for MongoClient and Mongoose. Planning to give that a try soon, if I don’t find one.
