Mongodb type reference node

Question

I am trying reference another object in a model in node,

User = new Schema({
        username: {
            type: String,
            index: {unique: true}
             


        

Answer 1

I decided to solve a similar problem for my project by making my subdocument a nested type

    Foo = new Schema({
        name: String,
        bar: {
            name: String
        }
    });

Obviously this will not work if you need Bar to be its own model. Perhaps because you reference it as a model in other objects. In my case this was all I needed to do, but the Subdocuments section of the Mongoose guide does not mention it as an option so I am adding to this discussion.
