Unknown nested fields/wildcards not working (field.*)

[maurictg]

Hello, I have a very specific situation, but I have no other way to handle it:

This is my schema

import { collection } from 'typesense-ts';

export const productCollection = collection({
    name: 'products',
    fields: [
        { name: 'id', type: 'string' },
        { name: 'title', type: 'string', stem: true },
        { name: 'url', type: 'string' },
        { name: 'price', type: 'int32' },
        { name: 'category_order', type: 'object' },
        { name: 'category_order.*', type: 'int32' }, // <--------------------------------- THIS
        { name: 'photos', type: 'object[]', index: false },
        { name: 'videos', type: 'string[]', index: false },
        { name: 'filters', type: 'object' },
        { name: 'filters.*', type: 'string[]', facet: true } // <--------------------------------- AND THIS
    ],
    enable_nested_fields: true,
});

When trying to do this:

const res = await productCollection.search({ q: '*', query_by: ['title'] });

I will get an error:

Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite (TS2589)

This happens when I have like 20 more fields than in the example.
The same error occurs to me without nested fields, just having a lot of fields.

I did not find a workaround or other solution for my use-case:

Every product can be in one or more categories. I do not know which, for there are a lot of categories (coming from database).
Using this schema I can sort_by=category_order.1234 (category order might look like this: { 123: 1, 52: 2, 1234: 3 }).

The same applies to filters, it can be any e.g.:

filters.colors-33: ['green', 'blue']

Hopefully you got my point 😅
Fields using fieldname.* wildcards are not working. See Typesense docs: https://typesense.org/docs/30.2/api/collections.html#with-auto-schema-detection

Hopefully this can be fixed or there can be a workaround! I really love this lib, more than the official, for this one doesn't use Axios or any other dependency!
