How to render enum as string not integer in mongoid (rails)?

I am using rails and mongoid gem. While using Enum in Mongoid model, with extend Enumerize things works. But upon rendering data as JSON to front-end (eg. using ModelName.where(condition)), the response for the enum field is not the string value of the enum but integer.

Example:

enumerize :field_name, in: { abc: 0, def: 5, ghi: 10 }, predicates: true, scope: :shallow

the rendered json looks like:

{ "model_name": { "field_name": 5 //instead of "def" } } Any help would be highly appreciated.

This sounds similar to a question I answered a while back: Rails 5.2 API - Returning enum value in JSON

def as_json(options = {})
  super.tap do |hash|
    hash['field_name'] = ModelName::enum[field_name]
  end
end
