Passing req object to Schema defaults

[Illimar Tambek]

I am trying to set some default values for a document by fetching them from the settings of the current user, which is available in the req.user object.

I know that it's possible to pass the req object to middleware, but is it possible to pass it to the Schema default functions? Something like:

var Comment = new Schema({

  mood:{ type: String, default: function(req) {

    return (req.user.defaults.mood);

  }},

  content: String

});

It is not. You could wrap document construction in a custom function:

function makeShinyThing (req) {

  var doc = new ShinyThing;

  doc.brightness = req.params.brightness * 1000;

  return doc;

}
