Issue

Problem: if I include mongoose.models.User into export, all types of User queries turn into any. If I remove this line and only export model creation, then typescript picks up correct types. But then I get "cannot overwrite once compiled" errors. I use this because https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19051041/cannot-overwrite-model-once-compiled-mongoose here it is one of suggested solutions, the simplest and it works. But breaks types.

export const User =
	mongoose.models.User || // this line
	mongoose.model(
		'User',
		new mongoose.Schema({
			email: {
				type: String,
				required: true,
				unique: true,
			},
			password: String,
		}),
	)
