[V5] Cannot call this.related inside a model

[Yeboster]

Hello all,

First of all thanks to this awesome project, I really like the static type checking!
I'm trying to get the relationships from inside a model but it doesn't work because ExtractModelRelation doesn't work well when calling on this.

I've understood that the property roles is just an opaque type, so I cannot use it to get related roles, but then how to return the roles inside a User model ? Right now I'm passing the user instance to the static method, so it works well, but it's a little cumbersome.

Thank you,
Have a nice day.

A known issue with Typescript directly. I have already reported it microsoft/TypeScript#37778

Wow, I didn't expect that. I've seen you pinged the issue, thanks 👍

For anyone who had the same problem, I've used this workaround to trick Typescript:

public static async isAdmin(user: User) {
  const roles = await user.related('roles').query().select('name')
  return roles.some((role) => role.name == 'admin')
}

public async isAdmin() {
  return await User.isAdmin(this)
}

I have the same issue.
it works this way

public getProjectById(project_id) {
    const user: user = this;
    return user
      .related("projects")
      .query()
      .where({ id: project_id })
      .first();
  }
