Summary
Currently its pretty easy to mistype or put the wrong
widgetIdwhen changing editor interfaces. This PR introduces function overloading to theindex.d.tsfile to restrict this fromstringto the widget IDs listed in your website:https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/extensibility/app-framework/editor-interfaces/.
Description
Motivation and Context
I'm sick of guessing the wrong
widgetIdand would prefer a nicer developer experience. Copying these changes locally into our production application very clearly shows when there is an invalidwidgetIdfor a builtin widget. Examples:This catches these errors before they happen (

numberis not a valid widgetId)Todos
