Typescript: how to compare an enum by name to an enum generated by number

Question

I have the following enum:

export enum MethodType {
    First = 1,
    Second = 2,
}

An enum variable is set by html content:

let id = document.getElementById("id").getAttribute('data-id');
//id = 2
let methodType = MethodType[id];

Now I try to compare the enum against the enum by name:

console.log(methodType == MethodType.Second);
//returns false

How are enums used in Typescript to compare an enum by name?

The following appears to return true, but Typescript throws an error: This will always return false since the types 'MethodType' and 'string' have no overlap

console.log(methodType == MethodType[MethodType.Second]);
