How to make array ref in Mongoose - node.js

Question

Here actually I want to make the service collection that contain the array of references of the ratings. when a user rate a service than an element is pushed in the array containing reference of user , service ID no and the rating.
Service Model like this:
var ServiceSchema = new Schema({
user_id:{
type: String,
required: [true, 'please provide user id']
},
name: {
type: String,
required: [true, 'please enter your name']
},
rating : [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'rating' }],
});
Rating schema:
var RatingSchema = Schema({
S_id : { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId},
Rating : Number,
By : { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId}
});
user schema:
var UserSchema = new Schema({
id: {
type: String,
unique: true,
required: [true, 'please enter your id']
},
password: {
type: String,
required: [true, 'please enter your password']
},
name: {
type: String,
required: [true, 'please enter your name']
},
type: {
type: [{
type: String,
enum: ['visitor', 'seller']
}],
default: ['visitor']
},
});
and I have defined the export as:
module.exports = mongoose.model('user', UserSchema, 'users');
module.exports = mongoose.model('service', ServiceSchema, 'service');
module.exports = mongoose.model('rating', RatingSchema, 'rating');
I want to make a function called rate but I am not getting how to make it.
exports.rate = function(req, res) {
var curr_service = new Service(req.body, result);
new_service.save(function(err, service) {
if (err)
res.send(err);
res.json(service);
});
};
So far I have done this.
Can someone help me to understand what should I do now? because I haven't find that much about mongoose to add ref in array...

In my case. This error was happening because instead of putting {es_indexed: true} inside the object declaration, I was putting it in the object that was using. For example:
const Client: Schema({
name: {type: String, es_indexed: true},
address: {type: Adress, es_indexed: true} //Wrong, causing error
})
Adress: Schema({
address: {type: String},
zipCode: {type: Number}
})
The correct way to use, is putting es_indexed: true into primitive types inside "Adress" schema declaration.
const Client: Schema({
name: {type: String, es_indexed: true},
address: {type: Adress} //Right way
})
Adress: Schema({
address: {type: String, es_indexed: true},
zipCode: {type: Number, es_indexed: true}
})
I hope it was helpful
