Actually the best way of working this and keeping your migrations clean would be by using some tool/helper like the one provided by the yii2mod team https://github.com/yii2mod/yii2-enum

this way you can build the enum functionality on code, works like a charm.

i.e. an enum for genderType

 'Male',
        self::FEMALE_TYPE => 'Female',
    ];
}

Use the following methods to access your Enum:

• createByName() - Creates a new type instance using the name of a value.
• getValueByName() - Returns the constant key by value(label)
• createByValue() - Creates a new type instance using the value.
• listData() - Returns the associative array with constants values and labels
• getLabel()- Returns the constant label by key
• getConstantsByName() - Returns the list of constants (by name) for this type.
• getConstantsByValue() - Returns the list of constants (by value) for this type.
• isValidName() - Checks if a name is valid for this type. isValidValue() - Checks if a value is valid for this type.
