if you have an enum

enum EDU_TYPE {
  COLLEGE
  SKILL
}

model edu {
  abbr       String       @id @db.Char(3)
  type       EDU_TYPE     @default(SKILL)
  name       String
  notes      String
  aspect     String       @db.Char(1)
  edu        edu?         @relation(name: "parent_edu", fields: [parent], references: [abbr])
  children   edu[]        @relation("parent_edu")
  general    Boolean      @default(false)
  parent     String?      @db.Char(3)
  person_edu person_edu[]
}

I’m using nest and it has a pattern of a typescript def for the “data” value; what “type” of data should I use for the data I save to edu? ex:

export class CreateEduDto {
  abbr: string;
  name: string;
  notes: string;
  aspect: string;
  type: string; // <-- doesn't work
  general: boolean;

}
