Lets say I have this schema.
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const TestSchema = new Schema({
language: {
required: true,
default: 'eng',
},
});
// Compile model from schema
const TestModel = mongoose.model("Test", TestSchema);How can I configure this schema so that language field will only accept its value as eng or hbrw. If it recievs some other value it would return an error.
I know it can be done explicitly with if else but I want to know if it can be built into the schema.
This is how its done:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const TestSchema = new Schema({
language: {
required: true,
enum: ['eng', 'hbrw']
default: 'eng',
},
});
// Compile model from schema
const TestModel = mongoose.model("Test", TestSchema);Enum field validates the coming data against the array of data given in enum field.
Thanks @turivishal for this solution
