Create a Mongoose Schema of type Array of Maps

Question

I am trying to create a mongoose schema that is an array of Maps that are String -> String:

var daySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    schedule:  {
        type: [Map], 
        of: String
    }
});

This is what I have, but it's giving me a validation error.

How about creating a separate schema for the maps and then use that schema in an array:

var Schedule = new mongoose.Schema({
    type: Map,
    of: String
});

var daySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    type: [Schedule]
});

As shown in the array examples.

This doesn't appear to work at least with mongoose 6.6. This just creates a schema with the literal keys type and of.

You could do this:

var daySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    schedule:  {
        type: [{type: Map, of: String}], 
    }
});
