Postgres enum in typeorm

Question

In typeorm, how can I create a postgres enum type Gender as in this raw query

CREATE TYPE public.Gender AS ENUM (
    \'male\', \'female\'
);
ALTER TABL         


        

Answer 1

For Postgres, the column type should be 'text', not 'string', as string results in DataTypeNotSupportedError: Data type "string" in "" is not supported by "postgres" database.
