Setting default values to array of objects in mongoose - node.js

Question

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var patientSchema = new Schema({
resourceType : {type :String, default : 'Patient' },
id : {type : String, default : 'example'},
text : [{
status : {type : String, default : 'generated'},
div :{type : String, default :'<div> Something </div>'}
}],
active : {type : String, default : 'true'},
identifier : [{
use : {type : String, default : 'official'},
system : {type : String, default : 'urn:oid:1.2.36.146.595.217.0.1'},
assinger :[{
display : {type : String, default : 'Acme Healthcare'},
}]
}],
name: [{
use : {type : String, default : 'official'},
first_name : {type : String, default : ''},
second_name : {type : String, default : ''}
}],
gender :{type : String, default : ''},
birthDate :{type : String, default : ''},
telecom : [{
system : {type : String, default : ''},
value : {type : String, default : ''}
}],
address : [{
use : {type : String, default : 'official'},
text : {type : String, default : ''},
city : {type : String, default : ''},
district : {type : String, default : ''},
state : {type : String, default : ''},
postalcode :{type : String, default : ''}
}]
});
var patients = mongoose.model('Patients',patientSchema);
module.exports = patients;
This is my model class, i'm sending values through post-man tool,
The default values inside the array of fields eg.
text : [{
status : {type : String, default : 'generated'},
div :{type : String, default :'<div> Something </div>'}
}],
the status and div are not storing the default values
i need to store the values of status and div as default!

Answer 1

You could use a sub-scheme/document instead!
var patientTextSchema = new Schema({
status : {type : String, default : 'generated'},
div :{type : String, default :'<div> Something </div>'}
});
... ommited for clarity
var patientSchema = new Schema({
text: [patientTextSchema]
})
This way you you can do patient.text.push({}) for adding a default patientTextSchema, or patient.text.push({status: "another_status"}) for a (partially) filled scheme.

You can use the following way to create Array of Objects with a default in mongoose:
const organisationSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
brands: {
type: [
{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'brand'
}
],
default: []
},
users: {
type: [
{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'user'
}
],
default: []
}
}, { timestamps: true });
