array of string in a schema mongoose

I'm trying to have a Role that contains an array of access.

access: [{
    type: 'string',
    match: /^[a-zA-Z]+$/,
    required: true,
    notEmpty: true,
    check: {
        minLength: 2
    }
}]

I get:

node_modules\mongoose\lib\schema\array.js:58
    this.caster = new caster(null, castOptions);
                  ^
TypeError: string is not a function

If I replace type: 'string' by type: String it works. Why? If I try to add an index on the array it doesn't works. (index: true)

Do I have to do a collection.index({'access': 1})?

type: String, is what you want on line 2. Mongoose expects the type to point to a function that can be used to coerce values to the correct type.
