Metadata type change

The problem

We were using winston-mongodb 5.1.1 to store our logs.

Trying to upgrade our logger app to winston-mongodb 6.0.0 has broken our reader log app.

Using winston-mongodb 6.0.0, metadata type changed from Array to Object

Our reader log app is currently searching for metadata[index] but as it changes to object, we have to change our reader app but also to handle both type (Array and also Object) for a period.

Is there any way to still save an Array rather than an Object using winston-mongodb 6.0.0 ?

What version of Winston presents the issue?

winston-mongodb v6.0.0

What version of Node are you using?

v20.8.0

If this worked in a previous version of Winston, which was it?

winston-mongodb v5.1.1

Breaking changes are allowed with major version bumps :) That being said, if this is a big usability issue for you, feel free to open a PR that would support either an array or object mode for the metadata?
