I have a comments field in my interface and schema as follows
export interface Blog extends Document {
...
comments: { user: ObjectId; comment: string }[]
...
}
const blogSchema = new Schema<Blog>({
...
comments: [
{
user: {
type: ObjectId
},
comment: {
type: String
}
}
],
...
})
However, schema throws this error 'ObjectId' only refers to a type but is being used as a value here.. I know that schema is written kind of in a weird way, but I'm confused with how to improve.
What I want in database is something like
[
{
user: "Vivid",
comment: "Vivid's comment"
},
{
user: "David",
comment: "David's comment"
}
]
I believe you need to change ObjectId to
mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId
Either that, or you could do something like:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
// ... other imports
const { ObjectId } = mongoose.Schema.Types;
// ... now use in code as `ObjectId`
