Description
For document validation to allow multiple acceptable types for a field, one must nest a verbose $or expression in the validator like this:
{
|
"$or" : [
|
{ "views" : { "$type" : 16 } },
|
{ "views" : { "$type" : 18 } }
|
]
|
}
|
It would be much easier to use $type if it could optionally take an array, which would be treated like $in and match any of the elements of the array.
The expression above would thus simplify to this:
{ "views" : { "$type" : [16, 18] } }
|
When such multi-type constraints have to be applied to many fields, validators would be much more succinct, making them easier to write (and read).
