Define variant type in Mongoose
I think mongoose wants you to use a nested type to declare a property as an object. Using your foo type above:
var PostSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ num: [Number], name: [String], variant: { fooInt: [Number] fooPair: { fooInt: [Number], fooString: [String] } } });Or - you could punt and use mixed - but that seems really wishy-washy to me.
Or - in the true spirit of oCaml - you can have that var defined using a pattern (type+object):
... variant: { varType: [Number], varInfo: [Mixed] }Where varInfo's structure depends on varType. THAT would make your mongo queries eaiser to manage.
Hope that's the direction you were looking for! FYI - I find this simple post really helpful.
You can use this code see the mongo documentation herehttps://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query/type/
var PostSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ num: { type: Number }, name: { type: String }, variant: { $type: [ Int: “int” , Pair:[“int”, “string” ] }
