Currently, I'm querying a media through an API. It returns something like this:
{
media_id: 42,
media_type: 1,
...
}
where media_type can only be 1 (image), 2 (video), 3 (audio).
I'm declaring the Media interface as
export interface Media {
media_id: number;
media_type: number; // (1: Video; 2: Audio; 3: Image)
...
}
which doesn't seem to be a good idea since media_type requires the coders to read the doc and remember which number corresponds to which type.
What is the proper type to use with this? I'm thinking about enum but I can't think of the way to turn this into an enum.
Note: I'm pretty sure this must be a duplicate of a question. I've tried to search for it but I can't seem to find a good keywords to get the desired results. Sorry about that.
