Add support for custom field names and custom schema

emiljanitzek commented 3 years ago

We are migrating to mongoose but our deletedBy/At fields have different names and for legacy reasons, we can not change this right now. We also need the ability to use a custom getter to transform our value.

This PR will added support for

custom names for both deletedBy and deletedAt
ability to supply custom schema type definition for deletedBy and deletedAt (could make the current deletedByType obsolete, can be replaced by { deletedBy: { type: String } })?

I was inspired by how mongoose handles the timestamp schema option. Let me know if you prefer another way. Will resolve issue #92

@dsanel Can you please review and merge this PR.

While waiting for this PR to be approved we kept running into trouble with typescript and the type definitions. And the way methods are dynamically created and method signature was overridden made it really hard to work with this in typescript.

So we created a fork which we now published that is completely rewritten in typescript. The main concept is the same, but some interfaces/methods have changed and we removed some features and it does require mongoose 6 to work.
