Typescript interpreting DocumentType<Class> as any

[SaadGillani]

I have a function with the following signature
public isAdmin(user: DocumentType<User>): boolean {}
but typescript is considering the argument user to be of type any

class user looks like following:

class User {
  @prop({ required: true })
  _id: string;

  @prop({ required: false })
  email?: string;

  @prop({ required: true, validate: nameRegex })
  firstName: string;

  @prop({ required: true, validate: nameRegex })
  lastName: string;
  }

When opening a issue please use a issue template (unless it is absolutely not fitting), and not remove the template

because this seems more like a question, i will move to discussions

---

please provide more information, like versions of: nodejs, typescript, typegoose, mongoose, editor (like vscode)

Versions

NodeJS: v16.14.2

Typescript: 4.6.3

Typegoose: 8.2.0

mongoose: 5.13.9

editor: vscode

maybe consider upgrading to the latest typegoose and mongoose version, aside from that:

• do you maybe still have @types/mongoose installed? when yes, remove it
• did you already try to reinstall all dependencies? (clear node_modules?)
• do normal mongoose types work (not any)?
• do you maybe have mongoose installed multiple times? (unlikely) (yarn why mongoose, npm ls mongoose)
