```typescript
class MyService {
   constructor(@Inject(EventModel) eventModel: MongooseModel<EventModel>) {
       eventModel.findById().exec();
   }
}
```

* `name` (String): model name.
* `collection` (String): collection (optional, induced from model name).
* `skipInit` (Boolean): skipInit whether to skip initialization (defaults to false).
