How to set mongoose schema field from list of strings (enum)

In the following example we define template attribute to be of type String with values defined in the enum array:

const noteSchema = new Schema({
    title: {type:String, required: true},
    type: {type:String, required: true, default: 'note'},
    content: String,
    reference: String,
    tags: [String],
    template: {type:String, enum: ['note', 'checklist']},
    userId: {type: String, ref:'User'},
    __v: { type: Number, select: false}
},
{
  timestamps: true
});
