Mongoose schema property with specific values

Question

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!

You can do enum.

var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({   // ...   , role: { type: String, enum: ['admin', 'guest'] } }  var user = new User({  // ...  , role: 'admin' });
