Getting the ref for a model instance

[knownasilya]

Is there a way to get the ref for a model? Like:

const model = this.store.findRecord('post', { buildReference...})
const ref = getRef(model);

---

Kinda asking because I'm getting a timeout when I set the same model on itself as a belongs to:

 const post = this.dataStore.createRecord('post', {
  repost: this.poster.repostPost, // <---- this
  //...
});

await post.save({
  adapterOptions: {
    buildReference: (db: Firestore) => {
      return collection(
        db,
        `accounts/${this.args.account.id}/feeds/${this.args.feed.id}/posts`
      );
    },
  },
});

Where the post model has @belongsTo('post') repost!: Promise<Post>. On save the promise times out and the tab is shot.

No support for that right now. Firestore being a NoSQL database, may tend to have duplicate data all over to improve query performance. Having a way to get the ref of a model would be difficult when that happens.

As for the timeout, I'm not sure why that happens for your case. On my end, I don't have any problem with having belongsTo that points to itself.
