How to autopopulate from a GridFS schema?

[Josecongas]

I need to autopopulate from a GridFS schema but it is not working:

import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { Schema } from 'mongoose';
import * as autopopulate from 'mongoose-autopopulate';

const IngredientsSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    length: { type: Number },
    chunkSize: { type: Number },
    uploadDate: { type: Date },
    filename: { type: String, trim: true, searchable: true },
    md5: { type: String, trim: true, searchable: true },
  },
  { collection: 'ingredients.files', id: false },
);

export const PizzaSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  shapes: [
    {
      type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
      ref: IngredientsSchema,
      autopopulate: true,
    },
  ],
});

1. "not working" is not a bug report. Please clarify what your expected behavior is and what the observed behavior is. For example, was there some sort of error?

2. Your ref is wrong, ref should be the model name, not a schema instance.
