id: 123
user: {
firstName: string // want this field to be infixed
lastName: string // also want this field infixed
}
}
I was hoping that when auto-defining the schema with
{ name: ".*", type: "auto", infix: true }
, that the infix
value would be passed to all nested fields in the object. Is this a limitation of infix
