Default noun (FAIL) C or U a failure to do something, such as pay a debt, that you legally have to do: Defaults on loan repayments have reached 52,000 a month.

Declaring defaults in your schema
Your schemas can define default values for certain paths. If you createa new document without that path set, the default will kick in.
Note: Mongoose only applies a default if the value of the path isstrictly undefined.
Default functions
You can also set the default schema option to a function. Mongoose willexecute that function and use the return value as the default.
The setDefaultsOnInsert option
By default, mongoose only applies defaults when you create a new document.It will not set defaults if you use update() andfindOneAndUpdate(). However, mongoose 4.x lets you opt-in to thisbehavior using the setDefaultsOnInsert option.
What Does Default Title Mean
Important
The setDefaultsOnInsert option relies on theMongoDB $setOnInsert operator.The $setOnInsert operator was introduced in MongoDB 2.4. If you'reusing MongoDB server < 2.4.0, do not use setDefaultsOnInsert.
Default functions and this
Unless it is running on a query with setDefaultsOnInsert, a defaultfunction's this refers to the document.
