Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I have issues loading enums from/saving enums to datastore.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would be great to use the `String` method if it exists on enums ? Or give a property like `datastore:",string"` to specify we want the string repr.
Maybe there is a solution I didn't found ?
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I make it working by changing my enum to string but loose good (automatic) enum checks on my API.
**Additional context**
For example:
```
//go:generate enum Role -text -nosql -transform=kebab
type Role int
const (
Admin Role = iota
Standard
)
type User struct {
Name string
Role Role
}
```
This will save `1` for `admin` and `2` for `standard`. The issue is that I have Dataflow, and other stuffs, working with `admin` or `standard` string representation instead of the int value.
