There are several methods to handle enum value conversion:

1. Server-side mapping: Return enum values from backend API endpoints
2. Annotation-based conversion: Use MyBatis-Plus annotations for automatic enum handling

Method 1: Implementing IEnum Interface

public enum GenderType implements IEnum<Integer> {
    
    MALE(1, "Male"),
    FEMALE(2, "Female");
    
    private final Integer id;
    private final String description;
    
    GenderType(Integer id, String description) {
        this.id = id;
        this.description = description;
    }
    
    @Override
    public Integer getValue() {
        return this.id;
    }
}

// Corresponding DTO
public class UserDto {
    private Long userId;
    private String username;
    private GenderType gender;
}

Configuration in application.yml:

mybatis-plus:
  configuration:
    log-impl: org.apache.ibatis.logging.stdout.StdOutImpl
  type-enums-package: com.example.enums

Method 2: Using @EnumValue Annotation

public enum UserRole {
    
    ADMIN(1, "Administrator"),
    USER(2, "Regular User");
    
    @EnumValue
    private final Integer roleId;
    private final String roleName;
    
    UserRole(Integer roleId, String roleName) {
        this.roleId = roleId;
        this.roleName = roleName;
    }
    
    // Getters omitted for brevity
}
