Reading status

The unread, reading, and read states as a Dart enum. The wire enum comes later and is a different type.

Reading status is a closed set of three values. It is not a string column and it is not the enum the Flutter client will receive. Those are two other types, written in spy files, mapped at the edges.

Create lib/src/domain/book/value_objects/reading_status.dart:

dart

/// Where the reader is with a book. This is Dart, not a spy enum.
enum ReadingStatus { unread, reading, read }

A Dart enum needs no YAML and no serverpod generate. If you later add a fourth status, you change this file, the wire enum, and the two mappers. The database column stays a string. The mapper writes status.name and reads it back with ReadingStatus.values.byName.

Next: the book entity.
