Mongoose: extending schemas

Question

Currently I have two almost identical schemas:

var userSchema = mongoose.Schema({

    email: {type: String, unique: true, required: true, validate: emailVal         


        

Answer 1

The simplest way for extending mongoose schema

import { model, Schema } from 'mongoose';

const ParentSchema = new Schema({
  fromParent: Boolean
});

const ChildSchema = new Schema({
  ...ParentSchema.obj,
  fromChild: Boolean // new properties come up here
});

export const Child = model('Child', ChildSchema);
