Reference virtual in virtual?

[gumpcha]

Is it possible referencing virtual attribute in other virtual attribute?

Here is what I tried and user.editLink was <a href="/users/some_user_id">undefined</a>.

UserSchema.virtual('fullName').get(function() {
    return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;
});

UserSchema.virtual('editLink').get(function() {
    return '<a href="/users/' + this.id + '">' + this.fullName + '</a>';
});

I'm using mongodb 2.4.17 and mongoose 4.1.6.

Should be possible. Is this code not working for you?

this.fullName in editLink is undefined.

above code is not working for me. :(

Did I miss something?

The following script executes without error for me:

'use strict';

var assert = require('assert');

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var ObjectId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId;
mongoose.set('debug', true);
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/gh3423');

var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  firstName: String,
  lastName: String
});

userSchema.virtual('fullName').get(function() {
  return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;
});

userSchema.virtual('link').get(function() {
  return 'test:' + this.fullName;
});

var User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);

var user = new User({ firstName: 'Axl', lastName: 'Rose' });

assert.equal(user.link, 'test:Axl Rose');
process.exit(0);

Please modify it to reproduce your issue.

It worked now. I can't reproduce it anymore. :(

Thank you for kind example anyway.
