I am performing CRUD operations using MEAN stack. I am using mongoose and I have created a schema also.

discussions.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const discussionSchema = new Schema({
  question: String,
  date: String,
  askedby: String,
  answers: String[],
  tags: String[]
})

module.exports = mongoose.model('discussion', discussionSchema, 'discussions');

Notice that answers and tags properties should be an array of string type while rest of the properties are simple string values. Is this the correct implementation? Please correct me.

    `String` arrays in schemas can be defined as: `answers: [String]`. [Mongoose schemas types](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html#arrays) – ambianBeing Sep 13 '19 at 20:58

The correct way to define is :

  answers :[String],
  tags:[String]

or 

answers :[{ type: String }],
tags:[{ type: String }]
