Description
If I define a virtual after model declaration, the virtual only works callingtoJSON() to document.
For now I've to use applyGetters() to the virtualType to get the value.
Steps to Reproduce
import db from "mongoose"; //await db.connect("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test"); const Schema = new db.Schema({ field: String }); Schema.virtual("virtual1").get(function () { return this.field + " virtual1"; }); Schema.virtual("virtual2").get(function () { return this.virtualAfter + " virtual2"; }); Schema.virtual("virtual3").get(function () { return this.constructor.schema.virtualpath("virtual4").applyGetters(undefined, this) + " virtual3"; }); const Model = db.model("model", Schema); Model.schema.virtual("virtual4").get(function () { return this.field + " virtual4"; }); const doc = new Model({field: "test"}); console.log("doc", doc); console.log("doc JSON", doc.toJSON({virtuals: true})); console.log("doc.virtual1", doc.virtual1); console.log("doc.virtual2", doc.virtual2); console.log("doc.virtual3", doc.virtual3); console.log("doc.virtual4", doc.virtual4); console.log("doc.virtual1 applyGetters", Schema.virtualpath("virtual1").applyGetters(undefined, doc)); console.log("doc.virtual2 applyGetters", Schema.virtualpath("virtual2").applyGetters(undefined, doc)); console.log("doc.virtual3 applyGetters", Schema.virtualpath("virtual3").applyGetters(undefined, doc)); console.log("doc.virtual4 applyGetters", Schema.virtualpath("virtual4").applyGetters(undefined, doc));Expected Behavior
If doc.toJSON() works with a virtual defined after model, I should be able to get the virtual directly.
In the docs the only restriction is to avoid hook definitions after model.
