Here's my code:
var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ email: String, password: String, role: Something }); My goal is to define the role property to have specific values ('admin', 'member', 'guest' and so on..), what's the better way to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

As mentioned by user whoami, mongoose only sets defaults on insert. If you are using mongoose 4. x and up and MongoDB 2.4. 0 and up you can opt-in to setting default values on update too.
The $set operator replaces the value of a field with the specified value.
Posted On: Jun 24, 2021. In Mongoose the “_v” field is the versionKey is a property set on each document when first created by Mongoose. This is a document inserted through the mongo shell in a collection and this key-value contains the internal revision of the document.
ObjectId . A SchemaType is just a configuration object for Mongoose. An instance of the mongoose. ObjectId SchemaType doesn't actually create MongoDB ObjectIds, it is just a configuration for a path in a schema.
You can do enum.
var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ // ... , role: { type: String, enum: ['admin', 'guest'] } } var user = new User({ // ... , role: 'admin' }); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
