Support recursive schemas

See original GitHub issue

Hi there! Just wondering if it’s presently possible to have a recursive schema – a schema that references itself.

const RecursiveSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  field: { type: String },
  children: { type: Array },
  'children.$': { type: RecursiveSchema }
});

Obviously, this won’t work (the JavaScript won’t even allow it). I was just wondering if anyone had a way to do something like this.

Thanks!

Yeah i know thats why i mentioned it, it’s just pretty grim code, but it’s probably what i’ll end up doing. I was trying to think of a way to do it in simple-schema but i think i’d take me a while to get a handle on exactly how it all works.
