copied!<p><strong>Is it possible to have an array of alternative subdocument schemas in mongoose?</strong></p> <p>For instance, take this made up scenario: if i have a main schema for a person and i have a field called vehicles of type array, i want to be able to define sub document schemas, but for each vehicle type (car, motorbike, bike, bus etc etc ) :</p> <pre><code>var car = new mongoose.Schema({ make: { type: String, required: true, default: 'Ford', trim: true }, model: { type: String, trim: true }, wheels: Number, }); var motorbike = new mongoose.Schema({ make: { type: String, required: true, default: 'Honda', trim: true }, model: { type: String, trim: true }, seats: Number, }); var bike = new mongoose.Schema({ make: { type: String, required: true, default: 'MuddyFox', trim: true }, model: { type: String, trim: true }, lights: Number, }); var bus = new mongoose.Schema({ make: { type: String, required: true, default: 'MAN', trim: true }, model: { type: String, trim: true }, dents: Number, }); /* person */ var person = new mongoose.Schema({ name: { type: String, required: true, default: 'Joe Bloggs', trim: true }, timeCreated: { type: Date, required: true, default: Date.now }, vehicles: [car, motorbike, bike, bus] /* this is what i want to do */ }); db.model('person', person); </code></pre> <p>Note the person schema. </p> <p>So that person can have any of those vehicles, but the data for each vehicle is still validated against it's own schema.</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
