TIP
Enums are useful to handle types of entites. To store in DB a "magic number" like 0 or 1, but in application code to use some readable notation like :image_type
# Native DB enum support
It is possible to use native Postgre extension pg_enum to handle
Hanami::Model.migration do
change do
extension :pg_enum
create_enum :posts_types, %w(text image)
create_table :posts do
primary_key :id
column :body, String, null: false
column :type, 'posts_types', null: false
end
end
end

Now you can send :image symbol to Repository and it would be handled correctly
