Mongodb – Mongoose Nested Schema – required fields inside array field

I have following mongoose schema –

  const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
        name: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
        email: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
        password: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
        addresses: [{
            type: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
            pinCode: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
            city: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
            state: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
            landmark: {type: String, required: false, trim: true},
        }]
     })

only name, email and password are required for registration. User can have more than one address , and each address has some required fields like in flipkart.com/account/addresses user’s account page.

Each address will be stored in addresses array field in mongodb database.

I want to keep addresses array [ ] when user register. address are only provided through user’s account page web page.
But I am getting ValidatorError because schema of doc inside addresses array having required fields.

when user register –

{
  name: 'rahul',
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'pass123',
  addresses: []
}

user is already registered, and then add address

{
  name: 'rahul',
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'pass123',
  addresses: [
    {
      type: 'home',
      pinCode: '111222',
      city: 'city1',
      state: 'state1'
    },
    {
      type: 'work',
      pinCode: '333444',
      city: 'city2',
      state: 'state2',
      landmark: 'landmark2'
    }
  ]
}

How to achieve above ??
Any help would be appreciated.

    I was doing this -

     const userDoc = new UserModel({
    name: nm,
    email: em,
    password: pass,
    addresses: []
 })

    Not passing addresses: [], prevent error ValidatorError

     const userDoc = new UserModel({
    name: nm,
    email: em,
    password: pass
 })

    You just have to remove required:true field from address array not even required:false.
    Just type and trim will the job and required is false by default so you dont have to include it.

    Try the below code. Hope this will help you.

    const ToySchema = new mongoose.Schema({ name: String });
const ToyBoxSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    toys: [ToySchema],
    bucketName: String,
    numToys: Number
});
const ToyBox = mongoose.model('ToyBox', ToyBoxSchema);

var toyBoxData = {
    toys : [
        { name : "Dummy Toy 1"},
        { name : "Dummy Toy 2"},
        { name : "Dummy Toy 3"},
    ],
    bucketName: "My Toy Bucket",
    numToys: 3
}

var toyBucket = new ToyBox(toyBoxData);
toyBucket.save( (err: any)=> {
    console.log(err);
})

    And when you will run the above code, you will be able to see a collection and document like this in your DB, as in the below screenshot.enter image description here
