+Defaults
+========
+
+Each `SchemaType` that you define \(you can read more about them in the [model
+definition chapter](/docs/model-definition.html) \) can have a default value.
+
+Default values are applied when the document skeleton is constructed. This
+means that if you create a new document (`new MyModel`) or if you find an
+existing document (`MyModel.findById`), both will have defaults
+provided that a certain key is missing.
+
+## Definition
+
+You can define a default with a function:
+
+    new Schema({
+        date: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
+    })
+
+or a value:
+
+    new Schema({
+        date: { type: Date, default: '12/10/1990' }
+    })
+
+Notice that defaults are automatically casted. In both cases, the defaults will
+become actual `Date` objects, but we're passing a timestamp first, and a string
+date second.
