AWS DocumentDB - JSON Schema Validator

Question

We have been developing collections in mongoDB, with

db.createCollection('xyzCollection', { 
  validator: 
{ 
  $jsonSchema: {....}}})

Now we are moving to AWS DocumentDB & this script fails with the error:

Can someone help identifying the correct keyword to apply validator directly to schema, and not using backend code to do this.

But 'validator' is not mentioned anywhere.

Does this mean that we cannot apply validations directly? Do we only have the option to apply validations via API.

AWS DocumentDB now supports schema validations and you can use validator keyword while creating collection.

Example:

db.createCollection('xyzCollection', {
   validator: {
     $jsonSchema: {
       required: ["name"]
     }
    }
  }
)
{ ok: 1 }
