Add field with dash character in Mongoose schema

Question

I want to add a field to a schema which includes dash character ( - ) in it. Mongoose is not allowing it. Is this possible or not?

var mySchema = new Schema({
  family-name: {
    type: String, 
    default: ''
  }
});

Answer 1

Just add quotes around the property name:

var mySchema = new Schema({
  'family-name': {
    type: String, 
    default: ''
  }
});
