Generic way of populating document ids (typegoose)

[JonesWest]

I have a user model like:

@ObjectType()
export class UserType {
  @prop()
  @Field()
  email!: string;

  @prop({ ref: () => Image })
  @Field(type => Image)
  profile_image_id: Ref<Image>
}

Now I want to be able to populate the profile_image_id through GraphQL so I need to create a field resolver for the profile_image_id param:

user.resolver.ts

...
  @FieldResolver((returns) => Image)
  async profile_image_id(@Root() user: DocumentType<User>) {
      return await Images.findById(user.profile_image_id);
  }
...

This will be very verbose when having large models with lots of references to other collections, because we need to define a very similar field resolver each time. So my question is if anyone has an idea to do this in a generic way? Maybe with a custom decorator to be used instead of the @field decorator? Something like:

  @prop({ ref: () => Image })
  @MyPopulatedField(type => Image, Images)
  profile_image_id: Ref<Image>
