Question

How to define "ENUM" type and put values in a model itself? If thats not possible, then in the documentation, its mentioned to use enum like this https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb3/MySQL-connector.html#enum But where should I put this code as per best practice ?

Answer 1

You could add custom validation to your model, so it would check if the value you're passing is correct. You can find a more elaborated answer here:
