how to define schema for nested object with same field name in different layer?

[vicodinl]

Suppose there exists an object like this: const person = { name: 'alice', age: 28, children: [ { name: 'bob', age: 4, }, { name: 'charlie', age: 5, } ], } how to define the schema？

By the way, utilizing entities within redis-om-spring is not only straightforward but also exudes simplicity and elegance. the requirement of defining a schema in Node.js can be quite challenging, particularly for intricate objects. is it necessory?

This should work:

const personSchema = new Schema('person', {
    name: { type: 'string' },
    age: { type: 'number' },
    children: { type: 'string[]', path: '$.children[*].name' },
    children: { type: 'number[]', path: '$.children[*].age' },
})

You don't have to define them if you won't be performing indexing or searching on them.

Not quite correct @aflorj but you've got the right idea.

const personSchema = new Schema('person', {
    name: { type: 'string' },
    age: { type: 'number' },
    children_names: { type: 'string[]', path: '$.children[*].name' },
    children_ages: { type: 'number[]', path: '$.children[*].age' },
})

And thanks for helping out!
