Mongoose: how to model object hierarchy?

Question

Mongoose: how to model object hierarchy?

I am using Mongoose 2.7.0 with node.js.

How can I describe a schema with a single embedded object?

Effectively I want to end up my schema matching with a JSON structure like:

{
    title: "",
    position: {
       loc: [0, 0],
       street: "",
       zip: 1234,
       town: "Name"
    }
}

So far I've ended up with a solution like:

var MySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: { type: String },
  position: {}
});

The problem in this solution is that it doesn't validate contents of position.

The simplest way is to do something like this:

var MySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: { type: String },
  position: {
    loc: [Number],
    street: String,
    zip: Number,
    town: String
  }
});
