Use Primitive as connection in Custom Node

[rhalaly]

I want to create a custom node that needs to get a string, but as connection. When I use

"required": {
                "text": ("STRING", ),
            }

I get the text as textbox widget. How can I get that field as connection?

forceInput field:

    "required": {
        "text": ("STRING", ),
        "forceInput": True
    }

or you can use "defaultInput".
They are slightly different. forceInput doesn't allow convert back to widget.
