Feature request: enum type

[zd4y]

Hello, it would be really nice to have an enum type. Currently this can be done with i.string() but it doesn't provide type safety. For getting the type safety I have to override AppSchema and also use as MyEnum in the data returned by useQuery. I also need to add perms to make sure invalid data never gets inserted.

For example let's say I have a status: i.string().indexed() field in a groupInvitations entity that only accepts 'pending' | 'accepted' | 'declined'

I need to override the AppSchema like this:

export type InvitationStatus = 'pending' | 'accepted' | 'declined'

export type AppSchema = Omit<_AppSchema, 'entities'> & {
  entities: Omit<_AppSchema['entities'], 'groupInvitations'> & {
    groupInvitations: Omit<_AppSchema['entities']['groupInvitations'], 'status'> & {
      status: InvitationStatus
    }
  }
}

And when I use the data:

const { data } = db.useQuery(...)
const status = data.groupInvitations[0].status as InvitationStatus

And in the instant.perms.ts file:

  groupInvitations: {
    allow: {
      create: 'validStatus',
      update: 'validStatus',
    },
    bind: {
      validStatus: "data.status in ['pending', 'accepted', 'declined']",
    },
  },

With support for an enum type I would hope to be able to get all of this automatically just by specifying the valid enum values.

Makes sense! Made a note of this internally!
