How do you insert subdocuments using node-restful?

I'm developing a MEAN stack application that needs to insert a list of contacts into a single record in MongoDb.

I'm using the Node-Restful module, which is a great helper.

I'm having trouble figuring out how I would insert/embed a list of contacts into an single user's record. The alternative for me is to do a reference to another collection, but from what I've seen in Mongo, the recommendation would be to embed each contact as a subdocument within a single document.

Has anyone had experience using the Node-Restful module to do this?

You can post a object with the related sub-docs. Eg:

{ "name": "Luke Skywalker",
  "films": [
    {
        "director": "George Lucas", 
        "title": "A New Hope"   
    },
    {
        "director": "George Lucas", 
        "title": "Attack of the Clones" 
    }
  ]
}

On my person schema I have a reference to film schema in "films" attribute. By this way you will create the document with the subdocuments in just one post.
