Is it possible to use integer/string enums while generated entity definitions are in use?

[Qwertie-]

Hey all, in the project I'm working on we are generating entity files with sea-orm-cli generate entity. I'm looking at the docs for enums and I'm not sure it's possible to get enums working without using database native enums while still generating the entity files.

While using ints for enum value columns the entity will have a type of i32, but I see no way to add in the info that maps this to an enum. When using database native enums the entities are generated in a file sea_orm_active_enums which seems correct but native enums won't work across database engines so I'm looking to avoid them.

Am I missing something here? Is it possible to use the migration first workflow with generated entities but still store the mapping enum from int to enum value?

I think you raised a good point. I think in the current state of affairs, well no - for the codegen it's just an ordinary enumeric column.
So you will have to modify the generated entity files.

May be we could make the codegen realize it's an ActiveEnum by some convention, e.g. column comments
