Can't use one shared collection for multiple schemas #14
Description
Problem:
It is stated that we can use multiple history collections or one shared collection for the history schemas. However, it is not possible to use a shared collection to hold the history of more than one schema. A mongoose OverwriteModelError is thrown when using the plugin on multiple schemas with the same modelName.
Possible Solution:
After looking at the code, it seems that no check is performed to see if the model already exists before creating it. As a temporary fix, I changed the code to this:
...
let mongoose = pluginOptions.mongoose;
const collectionIdType = options.collectionIdType || mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId;
let Model;
try { // Check if the model exists
Model = mongoose.model(pluginOptions.modelName);
} catch (e) {}
if (!Model) {
... // schema code
Model = mongoose.model(pluginOptions.modelName, Schema);
}
...
That seemed to fix the issue. Can you please make a new release with a similar fix? Thanks for the great plugin!
