Hashing in compact on the client side using persistentHash?

Technical Questions
1

I’m hoping to get some clarification on the persistentHash function (export declare function persistentHash<a>(rt_type: CompactType<a>, value: a): Uint8Array;) , especially for rt_type

Is this possible to do the same hashing in Compact on the client side? Can persistentHash be used to do the same thing?

export enum Role {
    Owner,
    None
};    
const roleHash = persistent_hash<Vector<1, Role>>([Role.Owner]);

You need to pass it a CompactTypeVector that you can construct with new CompactTypeVector.
Since you’ve exported Role, there should be a type definition for it in your compiled contract.
