Need help with mongoose and typescript.

[xoldd]

I'm using mongoose version 5.13.15.

How exactly is typescript supposed to work with mongoose? Look at this :-

I'm getting isAdmin?: any from vscode's typescript intellisense when I clearly defined isAdmin: boolean in Interface_Test. Is this really how it should work?

Other thing :-

If isAdmin is required shouldn't mongoose complain if I'm not passing in a value for isAdmin when creating the document like this one :- const test = new Test({});

Also let me know if I'm implementing typescript correctly with mongoose.

That's correct. Mongoose does type casting and doesn't throw an error if IsAdmin isn't included in the parameter to the Test constructor. For example, the following is perfectly valid:

const test = new Test({});
test.isAdmin = true;
await test.save();

Also, you have a default, so there really is no need to pass isAdmin in the test constructor.
