Mongoose allows defining validation rules for schemas. Validation is run before saving to the database and manually via validate(). Built-in validators include type checks, minimum/maximum limits, and required fields. Custom validators can be added asynchronously to check remote services. Additional properties like lowercase, uppercase, trim, getters and setters further customize schemas.

Mongoose: Validation

So, in this section, you learned that:

- When defining a schema, you can set the type of a property to a SchemaType
object. You use this object to define the validation requirements for the given
property.

// Adding validation
new mongoose.Schema({
name: { type: String, required: true } 

})

- Validation logic is executed by Mongoose prior to saving a document to the


database. You can also trigger it manually by calling the validate() method.
- Built-in validators:
- Strings: minlength, maxlength, match, enum
- Numbers: min, max
- Dates: min, max
- All types: required

// Custom validation
tags: [

type: Array,

validate: { 

validator: function(v) { return v && v.length > 0; },

message: ‘A course should have at least 1 tag.’

}

]
- If you need to talk to a database or a remote service to perform the validation,
you need to create an async validator:

validate: { 

isAsync: true 

validator: function(v, callback) {

// Do the validation, when the result is ready, call the callback

callback(isValid); 

}

}

- Other useful SchemaType properties:


- Strings: lowercase, uppercase, trim
- All types: get, set (to define a custom getter/setter)

price: { 

type: Number, 

get: v => Math.round(v), 

set: v => Math.round(v)

}
