Enum type returns string

[jdgamble555]

I have a schema like this:

const postSchema = object({
    status: optional(enumType(['publish', "future", "draft", "pending", "private", "trash", "auto-draft", "inherit"]))
});

However, this returns a string type. While it does validate this correctly, the typing is not the correct type.

This is not the expected result as 'string' and 'enum' are completely different. If I pass the result.data.status to an enum type, I get an error because it is a string type, while technically validated.

Does it work with as const?

const postSchema = object({
  status: optional(
    enumType([
      'publish',
      'future',
      'draft',
      'pending',
      'private',
      'trash',
      'auto-draft',
      'inherit',
    ] as const)
  ),
});

Yes, that seems to fix the problem. Shouldn't this be done automatically under the hood?

If it is possible, then yes. Maybe I can do the conversion to readonly in the library code. I will check this.

I was able to solve the problem. With the next update the changes will go live.
