AdminJSOptions with schema AdminJS Options (nestjs)

adminJsOptions: {
  rootPath: '/admin',
  loginPath: '/admin/login',
  resources: [
    {
      resource: user,
    },
    {
      resource: userLocation,

entity to save UserSchema

export class UserLocation extends BaseSchema {
  @RequiredProp({ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: User.name })
  user: User;

  @OptionalProp(null, { type: LocationPointSchema, index: '2dsphere' })
  location: LocationPoint;
}

LocationPointSchema

export const LocationPointSchema = new Schema({
  type: {
    type: String,
    enum: ['Point'],
    required: true,
  },
  coordinates: {
    type: [Number],
    required: true,
    validate: [
      (val) => {
        return val.length === 2;
      },
      '{PATH} must contains 2 elements',
    ],
  },
});

Can you show what console.log(val) logs in validate? The payload should be converted to correct types before saving.

Alternatively, in case types cannot be determined correctly based on mongoose schema try to specify them explicitly:

    {
      resource: userLocation,
      options: {
        properties: {
          location: { type: 'mixed' },
          'location.point': { type: 'string', availableValues: ['Point'] }, // this line might be unneccessary
          'location.coordinates': { type: 'number', isArray: true },
        },
      },
    },
