Why does the ENUM field in the table produce null even though there is 1?

Question

MySQL

Hi all! I am writing a small website in Laravel.
Faced such a problem.
The Locale table
has two fields of type ENUM
status for activating the language and favorite for assigning by default

in the admin panel in the table, it normally displays whether the language is active or not

@if ($item->status == 1)
                                <span class="">{{__('admin.active')}}</span>
                            @else <span class="">{{__('admin.destroy')}}</span>
                            @endif

But if I try to show which language is the default, then such a construction does not work

@if($item->favorite == 1)
                                <i class="far fa-star"></i>
                            @endif

and if I check what produces {{dd($item->favorite)}}
then I get null although the value in the table is 1
Maybe someone knows what could be the reason. Why does one line work and the other doesn't.

Answer 1

The question is removed, I just did not pass the favorite field in the method
. Added it and everything worked. In short, stupid)))

Answer 2

Because enum with values ​​'Y' and 'N' have values ​​'1' and '0' in your table.
