mongodb - Embedded document without Array?

I understand how to embed documents in Mongoose, and they seem fairly straightforward if storing as arrays, for which the use case is fairly obvious:

var CommentSchema = new Mongoose.Schema({...});
var BlogPostSchema = new Mongoose.Schema({
    comments : [CommentSchema],
});

But, what I don't see how to do after looking over the documentation forward and backward, is how to store a single sub-document that doesn't need or want to be in an Array.

var UserSchema = new Mongoose.Schema({...});
var BlogPostSchema = new Mongoose.Schema({
    author: ??? // 'UserSchema' and UserSchema do not work here. 
});

Is there any way to make this work? I don't want to just store the ObjectId, but rather, store a complete copy of the User record, but don't need or want an array.

See Question&Answers more detail:os

You cannot embed schemas in this way, with the reasoning that those child docs would be confused with full documents, see this bug thread, where it is stated:

the reason we haven't added this support in the past is b/c this leaves us wondering if all pre-hooks will be executed the same way for the pseudo-child document as well as it implies that we can call save() on that child.

The answer here is to share not the schema, but just the definition.

var userdef = { name: String };
var UserSchema = new Schema(userdef);
var BlogPostSchema = new Schema({author: userdef});

This would result in a nested user object, without actually nesting the Schema.
