Normalizing a nested entity that shares the current schema - normalizr

Question

My goal is to normalize this object:
{
talks: [
{
id: 1755,
speakers: [
{
id: 1487,
name: 'John Doe',
},
],
related_talks: [{
id: 14,
speakers: [{
id: 125,
name: 'Jane Doe',
}],
event: {
id: 181,
name: 'First Annual',
},
}],
event: {
id: 180,
name: 'July Party',
},
},
],
};
into this result:
{
entities: {
events: {
181: {
id: 181,
name: 'First Annual'
},
180: {
id: 180,
name: 'July Party'
}
},
speakers: {
125: {
id: 125,
name: 'Jane Doe'
},
1487: {
id: 1487,
name: 'John Doe'
}
},
talks: {
1755: {
id: 1755,
event: 181,
speakers: [ 1487 ],
related_talks: [ 14 ],
},
14: {
id: 14,
speakers: [ 125 ],
event: 180,
}
},
},
result: {
talks: [ 1755, 14 ],
},
}
If you'll notice, the items in related_talks are treated the same as a talk.
My schemas follow the examples and are set up like this:
const speaker = new schema.Entity('speakers');
const event = new schema.Entity('events');
export const talk = new schema.Entity('talks', {
speakers: [speaker],
event,
});
talk.define({ related_talks: [talk] });
No matter what I try, I can't get the items in related_talks to be added to the result.talks array. It is, however, in the entities object.
What is my schema configuration missing in order to accommodate this?

Unfortunately, if this is your requirement, Normalizr is not for you. Alternatively, if you're looking for a list of "talks" by ID, you can use Object.keys(data.entities.talks)
