Hullo, I have a crux to bear with Mongoose. Is there a way of using JSON-Shema with Mongoose Schemas? Say I want to define my API data schema using a standard like JSON-Schema, because it's nice. It seems like I need to define it again when I want to use Mongoose / MongoDB! That's quite some ugly duplication I like to avoid. Ideally, changing the JSON-Schema definition would also change the MongoDB schema. A similar problem would appear if I would use JOI.JS validation library. Has anyone found a solution to that? Or is there an alternative approach?
thanks
Try this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-schema-to-mongoose There are others out there too. I created json-schema-to-mongoose since the other libraries didn't quite fit my needs.
Also, I like to generate the json-schema from TypeScript using Typson. It makes it so the json-schema is more statically typed.
