How to change enum type column in laravel migration?

Question

I am using Laravel 5.1 and I have a table called packages with this structure:

id              int(11)
weight          decimal(10,2)           
weight_unit     e

You can add custom constructor to migration and explain to Doctrine that enum should be treated like string.

public function __construct(\Doctrine\DBAL\Migrations\Version $version)
{
    parent::__construct($version);

    $this->platform->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum', 'string');
}
