When defining an array of objects in a Mongoose schema as so:
var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
stuff : [ Object ]
});
When trying to save an instance of this object, with 'stuff' filled up with some objects, Mongoose gives the following error: "Object # has no method 'cast'"
What is the correct way to declare an array of objects in Mongoose?
var ObjectSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
//your object schema
});
var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
stuff : [ ObjectSchema ]
});
Something like this should work
var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
stuff1 :{type:String},
stuff2 :{type:Number},
array :[{arraystuff1:{type:String}}]
});
Here is a link where you can find information about it http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html
Looking at it further, the way to do is is to not use the Object type provided by Mongoose, as that causes problems. Instead just define it as an array:
var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
stuff : [ ]
});
This works, lets you put whatever you want into it and will save it correctly.
