🔖 Feature description

Export a union type of well known relations (RELATION_*) coming from @backstage/catalog-model

🎤 Context

I want to type my relation parameter to something more specific than a string. We currently import all relation constants from @backstage/catalog-model, create a union type, and then use that throughout our instance. Can @backstage/catalog-model provide something similar?

✌️ Possible Implementation

Export a new union type of all well known relations defined here.

export type RelationType =
  | typeof RELATION_API_CONSUMED_BY
  | typeof RELATION_API_PROVIDED_BY
  | typeof RELATION_CHILD_OF
  | typeof RELATION_CONSUMES_API
  | typeof RELATION_DEPENDENCY_OF
  | typeof RELATION_DEPENDS_ON
  | typeof RELATION_HAS_MEMBER
  | typeof RELATION_HAS_PART
  | typeof RELATION_MEMBER_OF
  | typeof RELATION_OWNED_BY
  | typeof RELATION_OWNER_OF
  | typeof RELATION_PARENT_OF
  | typeof RELATION_PART_OF
  | typeof RELATION_PROVIDES_API;
