I'm submitting a ...

[ ] bug report
[x] feature request

Actual behavior:

Overriding the instance method toJSON is possible in sequelize, not with sequelize-typescript

Expected behavior:

Possibility to override the toJSON instance method

Steps to reproduce:

Related code:

export class Test extends Model<Test> {
	@Column
    name: string;

    @Column
    shouldBeHidden: string;

    toJSON() {
        const values = Object.assign({}, this.get());
        delete values.shouldBeHidden;
        return values;
    }
} 

//returns when serialized
//{ "name": "foo" }

I've been overriding the toJSON method to hide information without issues. How's it not possible? What error are you seeing?

I'm doing something like this, and it's working fine.

export class Test extends Model<Test> {
  @Column
  name: string;

  @Column
  shouldBeHidden: string;

  toJSON() {
    return {...super.toJSON(), shouldBeHidden: null};
  }
} 

Maybe you're getting a typescript error from the Object.assign? The values variable wouldn't be inferred to be of the Test type, you should get an error similar to
Property 'shouldBeHidden' does not exist on type '{} & object'.ts
