typeError: validations.map is not a function: linkContentType can be a string or a string[]

[parkerhutchinson]

The validations are failing for me because it thinks that linkContentType can only be an array of string values. Wrong assumption linkContentType can be a string or an array of strings

LinkContentType: ['entryRef', 'entryRefTwo']
or
LinkContentType: 'entryRef'

This may go against the official docs but it is allowed and is valid migration using contentfuls DSL.

here is the migration that allows this to happen:

page.createField('refField', {
    name: 'Ref Field,
    type: 'Array',
    required: true,
    items: {
      type: "Link",
      linkType: "Entry",
      validations: [{
        linkContentType: 'contentTypeId'
      }]
    }
  });

this will show as a string in the JSON output on the content type and be a valid link type.

I can fix this on my end of course by doing this:

page.createField('refField', {
    name: 'Ref Field,
    type: 'Array',
    required: true,
    items: {
      type: "Link",
      linkType: "Entry",
      validations: [{
        linkContentType: ['contentTypeId']
      }]
    }
  });

This will fix the issue and return a string[] as your tool expects. But this would confuse the crap out of most people. Should support both string and string[] for linkContentType

Hi @parkerhutchinson,

That sounds like a reasonable change! I'm currently pretty busy - would it be possible for you to create a PR for that?
