Waterline defaultsTo not setting the value before inserting into db

Question

The title is pretty straight forward. I have an attribute which looks like this:

    isSet: {
    type: boolean,
    defaultsTo: false
    }

So my goal is to have the value set to false everytime a user is created. But when I do create a user this value is null/undefined The only workaround I found is to set the values in the beforeCreate method

Answer 1

Type should be string. This should work:

isSet: {
    type: 'boolean',
    defaultsTo: false
}
