#Typescript numeric enum is messed up

Typescript enums with numeric values are effed:

enum Values {
  A = 1,
  B = 2,
}

Is there a way to make them behave like enums made of strings? Or am I missing something? I want to assign explicit number values becasue they're reflected in the database with specific values

#

oh wait, only string enums are non-effed. enums without values are effed too

# 
  A,
  B
}```
#

I see https://www.npmjs.com/package/enum-for to deal with this effed-ness

npm
enum-for

An utility library to get all values/keys of a Typescript enum. Latest version: 0.0.5, last published: 3 years ago. Start using enum-for in your project by running npm i enum-for. There are no other projects in the npm registry using enum-for.

There's not really any benefit to using enums
