"this" is {}

[limitall]

schema.pre('save', next => {
console.log(this);
if (!this.metadata) {
this.metadata = {}
}
var now = new Date();

if (!this.metadata.createdAt) {
  this.metadata.createdAt = now
}
this.metadata.updatedAt = now
this.metadata.doc_type = this.modelName;
next()

})

with this code I am getting "this" is like empty object {}

Arrow functions / lambdas cannot work for schema functions (middleware, methods, etc...). Lambdas lexically bind this and cannot access the context. Use actual functions instead.

Hi,
I am having the same issue with default, although I am using actual function. "this" returns {}.
Here is my sample code:
const lounge = require('lounge'); const userSchema = lounge.schema({ username: {type: String, key: true, generate: true}, surname: String, name: String, fullName: { type: String, readOnly: true, default: function (value) { console.log(this); return (this.name + ' ' + this.surname).trim() } }, lastSeen: {type: Date} }); const UserModel = lounge.model('User', userSchema); const myUser = new UserModel({username: 'test123',surname: 'Test', name: 'Test2'}); console.log(myUser);

this is the output I am getting:

{}
{ username: 'test123',
surname: 'Test',
name: 'Test2',
fullName: 'undefined undefined' }

It also does not generate id attribute with UUID!
