Store data as JSON in MongoDB

Question

I am building a digital-card generator app in node.js. In this I want to store the card data as JSON in the MongoDB database. I am using mongoose ODM. but I think mongoose does not support the data-type of Json or object.

The card schema:

const digitalCardSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    userId: {
      type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
      ref: "User",
      required: true,
    },
    data: {
      type: String,
    },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  }
);

How can I do that?

MongoDB stores data as documents. Documents have a JSON like structure, and also has additional data types like Date, ObjectId, etc. — prasad_

You can store it as an object with properties and values like in a JSON. — prasad_
