virtuals not working

[ghost]

Simplest working example

"use strict";

const yourProjectID = '????';

const Datastore = require('@google-cloud/datastore');
const gstore = require('gstore-node')();

const datastore = new Datastore({
    projectId: yourProjectID
});


gstore.connect(datastore);

const thingSchema = new gstore.Schema({});

thingSchema.virtual('numbers').get(function fullName() {
    return 12345;
});

const thingModel = gstore.model('Thing', thingSchema);

const aThing = new thingModel({}, 1);

console.log(aThing.numbers); // expect: 12345

// try saving and retrieving it

(async function go() {

    await aThing.save();

    const retrievedThing = await thingModel.get(1);

    console.log(retrievedThing.numbers); // expect: 12345

})();

I get undefined for both logs.

Hello,
For now, the implementation to access the virtual properties is through the "entity.plain()" method (https://sebelga.gitbooks.io/gstore-node/content/entity/methods/plain.html).
This is when the virtual properties are attached to the entityData.

So it would be

const retrievedThing = await thingModel.get(1);
console.log(retrievedThing.plain({ virtuals: true }).numbers); 

I am going to look into the possibility to directy access them from then entity instance.

I see. I was not expecting that as docs state: ''Virtuals are properties that are added to the entities at runtime that are not persisted in the Datastore."

But thanks for replying.

Hello,
I just made release v4.2.0 that has support to directly access virtuals from the entity instance.
Let me know if it works for you 👍
