I want to use registerEnumType() to generate a GraphQL type from an enum (see the docs), however, I am not sure where to place it and how to use it?

I want to be able to re-use the GraphQL type, therefore I want to define it in a separate file and export it. Is it possible? 🤔

Oh, I have just noticed that under #1025200803239166012 , there is a GraphQL tag. Is there a way to move a post there? 🤔

Based on [this post](#1055106915010621512 message), I believe registerEnumType() should be placed right after the enum definition (in *.enum.ts file). Them, we can use it rightaway as a GQL type (using type => EnumName, not with the name defined in registerEnumType()).
