Top level id, contentType and type on Entry

[muhammad-saleh]

Hi,
Thank you for the amazing work done here, Really appreciate it.

Currently if I want to know the content type of an entry I have to do it like: entry.sys.contentType.id and it's similar to other properties like id and type as well

Is there a way to get this info in a simpler way? for example:
entry.id
entry.contentType
entry.type

If not then is this something the team could consider?

Thank you!

In fact, it seems like the wrong types are generated.

I'm using Gatsby + Contentful. When I look at the possible GQL queries via http://localhost:8000/___graphql for some allContentful* query, then there is no entry.sys.id. However, there is an entry.id.

This is not reflected at all in the generated contentful.d.ts, thus there is a mismatch between the actual type returned by a GQL query in Gatsby vs. the generated types.
