bibendi / activerecord-postgres_enum

My expectation when using this gem was that the values would be automatically returned as symbols, however strings are used by default.

If I submit a pull request that adds the option to have enums be automatically returned as symbols, and make this option configurable and off by default, would that be reasonable, or are you against that line of thinking?

Hi!
Sounds good!

Could you give me a really high level brief description of where I could find the part of the code that needs to be changed? I've been poking around the project but haven't yet located the proper entrypoint for this. If not that's fine -- I'll find it!!

I think it is here

activerecord-postgres_enum/lib/active_record/postgres_enum/extensions.rb

Lines 7 to 14 in 0a1848a

    
           class Enum < Type::Value # :nodoc: 
        
             attr_reader :enum_name 
        
             def initialize(enum_name:, **kwargs) 
        
               @enum_name = enum_name.to_sym 
        
               super(**kwargs) 
        
             end 
        
           end

I have no more guesses :)

	class Enum < Type::Value # :nodoc:
	attr_reader :enum_name

	def initialize(enum_name:, **kwargs)
	@enum_name = enum_name.to_sym
	super(**kwargs)
	end
	end

Symbols?
