Validating password / confirm password with Mongoose schema

Question

I have a userSchema that looks like this:

var userSchema = new Schema({
    name: {
      type: String
    , required: true
    , validate: [val

It's kind of late but for the sake of people having similar issues. i ran into a similar problem lately, and here was how i went about it; i used a library called joi

const joi = require('joi');
     ...
function validateUser(user){
  const schema = joi.object({
    username: joi.string().min(3).max(50).required(),
    email: joi.string().min(10).max(255).required().email(),
    password: joi.string().min(5).max(255).required(),
    password2: joi.string().valid(joi.ref('password')).required(),
  });

  return schema.validate(user);
}

exports.validate = validateUser;
