Collection name must be a String

[q8tywolf]

Hello Am getting this error

It would be great to add to the readme how to define models with BaseModel

my model is

export default class User extends BaseModel {

  email: string
  password: string
  rememberMeToken: string | null
  createdAt: Date
  updatedAt: Date

  status: StatusEnum = StatusEnum.Pending;
 

  static async hashPassword(user: User) {
    if (user.$dirty.password) {
      user.password = await Hash.make(user.password)
    }
  }

  static async isEmailTaken(email: string, excludeUserId) {
    const user = await this.find({ email, _id: { $ne: excludeUserId } });
    return !!user;
  }
}

error thrown

    err: {
      "type": "MongoInvalidArgumentError",
      "message": "Collection name must be a String",
      "stack":

Your definition of the user class seems correct and it runs without errors on my end if I replace this.find with this.query. I suspect that you are using an old version of the package.
