Current behavior

I want to write a strongy modularized App that uses mongoose as a database. There is a collection, let's say Container, that is agnostic about where it is referenced. It might be in no other module in one or in multiple ones.

The can be an unknown amout of things that needs to be done when a Container is checked or removed. One module might want to protect a container from being removed, when it is still referenced, while another needs to remove an instance in itself. Or a module needs to realize that a field on a Container has been changed and change one on its own.

All this could be achieved with Schema hooks in vanilla mongoose. I just need to expose the Schema of Container before the call to get the Model of the Schema.

Unfortunately I do not see any point in time where I could be sure, to get a Schema, but where ot Model has been created of this. Would it be possible to expose this at a defined point during startup, so that other models could plant their hooks into the already existing Schema?

Thanks
