mongodb validation jsonschema + expressive query failing to insert document - mongodb

Question

So this is kind of a two part question. I have the follow validation schema defined:
db.createCollection(
"users", {
validator: {
$or: [{
company_name: {
$exists: true,
$type: "string"
},
type: {
$in: [
"creator"
],
$exists: true,
$type: "string"
}
},
{
firstname: {
$exists: true,
$type: "string",
},
lastname: {
$exists: true,
$type: "string",
},
type: {
$in: [
"user"
],
$exists: true,
$type: "string"
}
}
],
$jsonSchema: {
bsonType: "object",
required: [
"contacts",
"created",
"email",
"password",
],
properties: {
"contacts": {
bsonType: "array",
items: {
required: [
"email",
"name"
],
properties: {
"email": {
bsonType: "string",
description: "email of the other account"
},
"name": {
bsonType: "string",
description: "a way for the owner to easily identify"
},
}
}
},
"created": {
bsonType: "date",
description: "the date this account was created"
},
"email": {
bsonType: "string",
description: "owner's registered email"
},
"password": {
bsonType: "string",
description: "a hashed password"
},
"reset_code": {
bsonType: "string",
description: "part of the getter link to reset password"
},
}
}
}
}
)
and I'm trying to insert:
db.users.insert({
email: "sadf",
password: "asdf",
created: Date.now(),
contacts: [],
type: "user",
firstname: "test",
lastname: "test"
})
but it's giving me "Document failed validation"`

Answer 1

Problem turned out to be created with the date format. Instead of Date.now() I need to use new Date() or new ISODate()
