How to Create and Use Enum in Mongoose

Question

I am trying to create and use an enum type in Mongoose. I checked it out, but I'm not getting the proper result. I'm using enum in my program as follows:

My schema is:

var RequirementSchema = new mongooseSchema({    status: {         type: String,         enum : ['NEW','STATUS'],         default: 'NEW'     }, }) 

But I am little bit confused here, how can I put the value of an enum like in Java NEW("new"). How can I save an enum in to the database according to it's enumerable values. I am using it in express node.js.

Thanks

The enums here are basically String objects. Change the enum line to enum: ['NEW', 'STATUS'] instead. You have a typo there with your quotation marks.
