extract-mongo-schema Foreign keys detection

How are foreign keys detected/ reverse-engineered?

Tried to generate the html representation but no inter-collection relation was detected. So I have a list of isolated tables atm.

@danmo foreign key is detected with regex, if format is equal to usual mongoId then collections are scanned for this value. Not the best approach I know but worked for me for particular use case.

Any suggestions?

What about allowing to set some schema files as parameter to give more guidance instead of just only search for objects?

@perak I think https://github.com/perak/extract-mongo-schema/blob/master/extract-mongo-schema.js#L80 limits detection to just mongo ObjectId's now and not to things like Strings
