How to declare an array of different types in a Mongoose schema?

Question

I am trying to create a Mongoose schema which contains a field that should be an array that contains different types/objects.

For example:

myArrayField: [
 { type: 'type1', type1Property: 'blabla', type1Property2: 'blabla'},
 { type: 'type2', type2Property2: 'blablo' }
]

I have taken a look at discriminators without any success and I have found mongoose.Schema.Types.Mixed. However, Mixed seems to be very open in terms that Mongo will not check anything about it. I would like to know if I can specify the different types the array can have, something like:

myArrayField: [ SchemaType1, SchemaType2]

So items can follow SchemaType1 OR SchemaType2.

Thank you in advance and regards

Only one type can be assigned to a field. May be you should create one schema with two fields that has different types and required attributes are set to false which is default.
