multiple SubCollections with same Entity

[danieleisenhardt]

This will cause an error to be thrown:

class Album {
  id: string;
  name: string;
}

@Collection()
class Band {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  @SubCollection(Album, 'albums')
  albums: ISubCollection<Album>;
  @SubCollection(Album, 'singles')
  singles: ISubCollection<Album>;
}

There are obvious workarounds, but I believe this should not cause an error.

I tried to fix it on my fork, however MetadataStorage.setCollection() seems to evaluate children before parents and updating the segments afterwards using a getWhereImParent() function. It becomes more of a design choice than a simple bug fix at this point, please advise.

We need a solution for this, I am having the same problem

I have not had the time to make a solution myself. (since last year, I know)

A workaround is to extend the class i.e.
class Single extends Album

If you really need a solution you can always make a pull request yourself.
