How to store mongoose value as a date?
<p>Everytime I save a date in Mongoose it ends up as a string.</p>

<pre><code>    let newDate = new Date().toISOString();

    let thing = await Thing.findOne({});

    things.details.expirationDate = newDate;

    await thing.save();
</code></pre>

<p>I can confirm that in the database it is recognized as a string and not a date object.</p>

<p>How do I save this value on a date object? <code>thing.details</code> is a mixed schema type.</p>
