How to use enum values in dropdown?

[kabrod]

I'm using Express and Jade, but can't find an example on how to access
and iterate enum values.

Thanks, kabrod

each and forEach doesn't do what you want ?

My first question wasn't clear, sorry.
The problem is how to access the enum values, not to iterate them.

The enums are declared in the Mongoose model.
So, do I access the enum collection from the database or the model
object?

Either way, what is the syntax for doing this?

Drop the following into a plugin or in your schema:

schema.method({
fieldProperties:
function (fieldName, propertyName) {
fieldRef = schema.path(fieldName);
if (fieldRef.options[propertyName]) {
return fieldRef.options[propertyName];
}

return;
},
});

Then you can use it with:
someRecord.fieldProperties('fieldName', 'enum'));

You can use it for most options of a field - just keep in mind that
you may need to use the result as a function if the property is a
function - ie a calculated default.
It'll return undefined if the property doesn't exist.
