mongoose field with the name type

Question

I am trying to validate and save a Passport profile with this structure:

http://passportjs.org/guide/profile/

This is the scheme I came up with:

// Define the schema. schema = new mongoose.Schema({     // The name of this user, suitable for display.     displayName: String,     // Each e-mail address ...     emails: [{         // ... with the actual email address ...         value: String,         // ... and the type of email address (home, work, etc.).         type: String     }],     // A unique identifier for the user, as generated by the service provider.     id: String,     // The name ...     name: {         // ... with the family name of this user, or "last name" in most Western languages ...         familyName: String,         // ... with the given name of this user, or "first name" in most Western languages ...         givenName: String,         // ... and with the middle name of this user.         middleName: String     },     // The provider which with the user authenticated.     provider: String }); 

The e-mail has a property called 'type', which is reserved for a mongoose type. How do I solve this?

You need to define the field using an object:

type: {type: String}
