sqlboiler auto-generates replaced and unused (enum) type into boil_types.go about sqlboiler HOT 8 CLOSED

What does the generated model look like?

@stephenafamo: I updated the example for better clarity and added the generated model

The issue is your config. You're missing something with the TOML syntax and you're using double square brackets where single square brackets should be used.

add-enum-types = true

[[types]]
  [types.match]
    name = "my_enum"
    # tables = ["TableA"]

  [types.replace]
    type = "models_types.MyEnumOverride"
  
  [types.imports]
    third_party = ['"test.com/test/models_types"']

It would be a cleaner experience to replace their types with 1 self-created one…

Side note, you can just replace one of the enums with the second auto generated one so that you don't have to maintain the values yourself 🤷🏾‍♂️

That's it. Thanks!

One problem left, though: sqlboiler still auto-generates type TableAMyEnum string into boil_types.go

Indeed

Not really an issue since there is no way for SQLBoiler to be sure that you do not intend to use the type somewhere else.

If sqlboiler creates a type specifically for that field in that table and I tell sqlboiler to replace it in the generated model, then it makes no sense to keep it.
So that reasoning makes little sense to me. But if you must insist, I propose to add a flag to "skip fully replaced (enum) types"

I can see why this would be useful.

If you can send in a PR with this flag, I'll be happy to review and merge.

Thank you. I'll see to it. If you have some useful pointers (like where the replacement takes place), I'd appreciate it a lot!
