Using reserved keyword as schema key

In our project we have existing database scheme and there is no longer possible to change it. Is where workaround to use reserved key in schema? We need to use options key.

This issue was specifically about using options as a schema key, which is ok right now. As for using reserved keywords, we don’t plan on allowing using things like save as schema keys right now, because that would require massive api changes

I agree with @smonkey72. I think mongoose should use prefixed names of reserved keys like this:

var blogSchema = new Schema({
  title:  String,
  author: String,
  body:   String,
  date: { // here
      $type:    Date, 
      $default: Date.now 
  },
  meta: {
    votes: Number,
    favs:  Number
  }
});

Or use properties for object fields (like JSON Schema):

var blogSchema = new Schema({
  title:  String,
  author: String,
  body:   String,
  date: { 
      type:    Date,
      default: Date.now 
  },
  meta: { // here
    properties: {
        votes: Number,
        favs:  Number
    }
  }
});
