Object type in mongoose
Solution 1:
You have two options to get your Object
in the db:
1. Define it by yourself
let YourSchema = new Schema({
inventoryDetails: {
config: {
count: {
static: {
value: {
type: Number,
default: 0
},
dataSource: {
type: String
}
}
}
},
myType: {
type: String
}
},
title: {
static: {
value: {
type: Number,
default: 0
},
dataSource: {
type: String
}
}
}
})
Take a look at my real code:
let UserSchema = new Schema({
//...
statuses: {
online: {
type: Boolean,
default: true
},
verified: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
},
banned: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
}
},
//...
})
This option gives you the ability to define the object's data structure.
If you want a flexible object data structure, see the next one.
2. Use the default Schema.Types.Mixed
type
Example taken from the doc:
let YourSchema = new Schema({
inventoryDetails: Schema.Types.Mixed
})
let yourSchema = new YourSchema;
yourSchema.inventoryDetails = { any: { thing: 'you want' } }
yourSchema.save()
Solution 2:
Mongoose 5
An "anything goes" SchemaType. Mongoose will not do any casting on mixed paths. You can define a mixed path using Schema.Types.Mixed or by passing an empty object literal. The following are equivalent.
const Any = new Schema({ any: {} });
const Any = new Schema({ any: Object });
const Any = new Schema({ any: Schema.Types.Mixed });
const Any = new Schema({ any: mongoose.Mixed });
For your current schema you can use the next example:
import mongoose from 'mongoose'
const inventorySchema = mongoose.Schema({
inventoryDetails: {
type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.Mixed,
required: true
},
isActive:{
type: Boolean,
default:false
}
})
const inventory = await inventorySchema.create({
inventoryDetails: {
config: {
count: {
static: { value: '123' },
dataSource: 'STATIC'
},
title: {
static: { value: 'tik' },
dataSource: 'STATIC'
}
},
type: 's-card-with-title-count'
}
})
console.log(inventory)
