mongoose array of array of strings

Question

I wish to have a Mongoose Schema property contain an array of array of strings, like so

[['one','two','three'],['four','five']]

How should I model this in my Schema? The following doesn't seem to work but it could possibly be another error...

names : [[{type: String, trim: true}]]

Do I have to make a seperate schema as per Nested arrays in Mongoose

Thanks

Ah, it turns out that nested arrays do have to be put in seperate schemas

var InnerArray = new mongoose.Schema({
  set : [{type: String, trim: true}]
})

var Stuff = new mongoose.Schema({
foo : [InnerArray]
})
