How to use 'match' properly?

[michaeljota]

I trying to use 'match', but as #41 it throws not a function.

Here is my schema:

class User extends Document {
    constructor(){
        super();
        //Just the part where using the match. 
        this.email = {
            type: String,
            match: '/.+\@.+\..+/'
        }
}

You should specify a regex in match. So you're example would be:

class User extends Document {
    constructor(){
        super();
        //Just the part where using the match. 
        this.email = {
            type: String,
            match: /.+\@.+\..+/
        }
}

Although it probably wouldn't hurt to allow plain regex strings as well (like you're using).

Just remove the single quotes ('). Here is a quick RegExp example:

var emailRegex = /.+\@.+\..+/;
emailRegex.test('john@example.com');    // true
emailRegex.test('example.com');    // false

Unless you have any other follow-up questions, I'm going to close the issue. Thanks!
