Saving an array property on a Mongoose schema

Question

I have a mongoose object schema that looks similar to the following:

var postSchema = new Schema({
   imagePost: {
     images: [{
        url: String,

I've just done something similar, in my case appending to an existing collection, please see this question/answer. It may help you:

Your problem is that in Mongoose you can't have nested objects, only nested Schemas. So you need to do something like this (for your desired structure):

var imageSchema = new Schema({
    url: {type:String},
    text: {type:String}
});

var imagesSchema = new Schema({
    images : [imageSchema]
});

var postSchema = new Schema({
    imagePost: [imagesSchema]
});
