This might be late to reply still, this may help someone who looking for this.

With ES6 Classes Schemas have a loadClass() method that you can use to create a Mongoose schema from an ES6 class:

• ES6 class methods become Mongoose methods
• ES6 class statics become Mongoose statics
• ES6 getters and setters become Mongoose virtuals

Here's an example of using loadClass() to create a schema from an ES6 class:

class MyClass {
  myMethod() { return 42; }
  static myStatic() { return 42; }
  get myVirtual() { return 42; }
}

const schema = new mongoose.Schema();
schema.loadClass(MyClass);

console.log(schema.methods); // { myMethod: [Function: myMethod] }
console.log(schema.statics); // { myStatic: [Function: myStatic] }
console.log(schema.virtuals); // { myVirtual: VirtualType { ... } }
