基于this example(有效)：

var Comment = new Schema();

Comment.add({
    title : { type: String, index: true }
  , date : Date
  , body : String
  , comments : [Comment]
});

我想创建一个CoffeeScript版本

mongoose = require 'mongoose'
Schema = mongoose.Schema

Person = new Schema
Person.add
  mother: Person
  father: Person

但它返回错误,我不明白为什么

编辑：好的,我发现当Person不是数组(括号中)时它不起作用,但为什么呢？

解决方法:

嵌入式文档只能作为数组中的项存在.那是设计,你可以问the authors他们的原因:)

您可能想要使用DBRef：

Person = new Schema
  mother: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'Person' }
  father: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'Person' }

(注意你不需要添加电话)

见docs for populate/DBRef.
