bit, tinyint to boolean

[optmsp]

I am using MySQL. To represent a boolean value, I need to use MySQL bool (which appears to just by tinyint) or a bit (0/1). I prefer using bit, but it doesn't appear that this is supported by the yii2 table schema. (Correct me if wrong because that would solve this directly.)

Anyway, if I run gii/enhanced-gii-model against a column of tinyint, it is creating a rules[] with a type of string and max of 1. That will break normal code trying to use the field as a boolean. To fix this, I change yii2-enhanced-gii/model/Generator.php like so:

case Schema::TYPE_TINYINT:
	echo "default.. column: " . $column->name . "\n";
	echo "type: " . $column->type . "\n";
	$types['boolean'][] = $column->name;
	break;

yii2-enhanced-gii now produces this output:

[['oplock', 'is_active'], 'boolean'],

Which is correct (for my situation).

Is there a better way? If not, would you be open to a PR to implement this with a switch like --use-tinyint-as-boolean ?
