Create array of enums

[ovaillancourt]

Creating an array of enum doesn't appear to be implemented, would be nice to have!

var mySchema = new Schema({
  label: [{type:String, enum: ['enumVal1','enumVal2']}]
});

Small snippet of conversation on irc which might give direction:

aheckmann: file an issue, i think its b/c the validation isn't set on the array

@aheckmann any reason this sort of thing isn't built into mongoose? threw me off recently as I expected it to work the same as if it was a non-array field

[onemenny]

same here (3.8.8) - are there any plans to implement this?

Not at the moment, but I think this is something that should make it into 4.0.

Exactly what I was looking for, I hope it will make it into 4.0

I use something like

roles: { 
    type: [{ type: String, enum: [ 'resident', 'distributor', 'company', 'moderator', 'admin' ] }],
    default: 'resident'
}

to set default value.

What's the status on this ?

@cloud-tribal well the issue is closed with 3.9.6 as the milestone, so I'd imagine that means it was released in 3.9.6. If you're using 4.x you should be able to access this feature.
