# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

#include </home/build/include/cereal/types/common.hpp>

## [Public Types](#Public_Types)

using **type** = StrippedT

## [template<class T>](#template_class_T_)

class cereal::common\_detail::is\_enum< T >"Checks if a type is an enum.

This is needed over simply calling std::is\_enum because the type traits checking at compile time will attempt to call something like load\_minimal with a special NoConvertRef struct that wraps up the true type.

This will strip away any of that and also expose the true underlying type.
