question: How can the parent properties be reached in the nested object?

[eomelyusik]

I was trying to validate the nested object and faced an issue when it is not possible to reach the parent properties in the nested object:

Parent class:

export class ParentDto {
  @Type(() => NestedDto)
  @ValidateNested()
   nestedProperty: NestedDto;
   type: string;
}

Nested class:

export class NestedDto {
  @ValidateIf((object) => object.type === 'some-type')
  @IsString()
  @IsNotEmpty()
  value: string;
}

Is it possible to reach somehow "type" property from the ParentDto in the NestedDto? The only solution I get is to use @Transform to pass type in the NestedDto.

Is there any workaround found for this problem?

I need this as well. Trying out some custom validators.
