Returning a collection from PL/SQL using node-oracledb

I've been exploring oracledb and I'm not sure how I should return a collection. For example, I have the following call:
connection.execute(
'DECLARE ' +
' TYPE subscription_t IS RECORD ( ' +
' subscriptionId INT, ' +
' eventTypeId INT); ' +
' TYPE subscriptions_t IS TABLE OF subscription_t; ' +
' l_subscriptions subscriptions_t; ' +
' l_subscription subscription_t; ' +
'BEGIN ' +
' l_subscriptions := subscriptions_t(); ' +
' for i in 1 .. ... loop ' +
' l_subscription.subscriptionId := ...; ' +
' l_subscription.eventTypeId := ...; ' +
' l_subscriptions.EXTEND; ' +
' l_subscriptions(l_subscriptions.LAST) := l_subscription; ' +
' end loop; ' +
' :ret := l_subscriptions; ' +
'END;',
{
ret: { dir: oracledb.BIND_OUT, type: ??? }
},
{
// ???resultSet: true
},
function (err, result) {...
})
I'm not sure how I can return the value of l_subscriptions back to JS. I.e. what should :ret be assigned to, and what should the type of ret be set to?
Apologies in advance if this is obvious, I'm just getting started with this stuff.

You need to create some kind of PL/SQL mapping functions/procedures to map the record type to scalar values that can be passed back to node-oracledb. See https://github.com/oracle/node-oracledb/issues/147
