I have a file user-model that defines the Mongoose schema for 'User' and is as follows : 

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const Schema = mongoose.Schema

const PointSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  type: {
    type: String,
    enum: ['Point'],
    required: true
  },
  coordinates: {
    type: [Number],
    required: true
  }
});


const User = new Schema(
    {
        userName: { type: String },
        firstName: { type: String },
        lastName: { type: String},
        primaryContact: { type: String },
        secondaryContact: { type: String },
        emergencyContact : { type: String },
        location: { type: PointSchema }, //should store the user's location coordinates
    },
    { timestamps: true },
)

module.exports = mongoose.model('users', User)

Is this the correct way to define the location attribute in the User schema? Also is the definition for PointSchema logically correct?

Also I want to be able to insert a single document on MongoDB's Atlas that follows the above schema . Atlas offers a range of datatypes, however I'm not sure which one to use to store a location's coordinates. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you.
