Make all fields required in Mongoose

Question

Mongoose seems to default to make all fields not required. Is there any way to make all the fields required without changing each of:

Dimension = mongoose.Schema(
  name: String
  value: String
)

to

Dimension = mongoose.Schema(
  name:
    type: String
    required: true
  value: 
    type: String
    required: true
)

It'll get really ugly since I have a lot of these.

Answer 1

I ended up doing this:

r_string = 
  type: String
  required: true 

r_number = 
  type: Number
  required: true

and on for the other data types.

Answer 2

You could do something like:

var schema = {
  name: { type: String},
  value: { type: String}
};

var requiredAttrs = ['name', 'value'];

for (attr in requiredAttrs) { schema[attr].required = true; }

var Dimension = mongoose.schema(schema);

or for all attrs (using underscore, which is awesome):

var schema = {
  name: { type: String},
  value: { type: String}
};

_.each(_.keys(schema), function (attr) { schema[attr].required = true; });

var Dimension = mongoose.schema(schema);
