So I am trying to convert a string to an enum type and use it as a type in useState:

From

const [someType, setSomeType] = useState<"water", "air", "fire">("water")

This works fine but when I try to convert this to an enum type like

export enum SomeType {
  WATER,
  AIR,
  FIRE,
}
  const [someType, setSomeType] = useState<SomeType>(SomeType.WATER)

this throws and error

Unhandled promise rejection [Error: Got an invalid value for 'component' prop for the screen 'SomeType'. It must be a valid React Component.]

I have tried other ways too like

const [someType, setSomeType] = useState<SomeType.WATER | SomeType.AIR | SomeType.FIRE>(SomeType.WATER)

But the error is the same, Am I missing something here?
