Provide a "node type" views default argument

Here's the new plugin.

This plugin should work without any problem with D10/D9.

Code is exactly the same, just fixed some typos in comments.

Will need test coverage.
New plugin would need a CR

New functions should be typehinted with returns, even if return is :void

Here's an updated patch with PHPCS fix.

@smustgrave, what new functions are you referring to?
All functions in there are inherited, or documented in interfaces. Also I don't see any example in https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/blob/11.x/core/modules/node/..., which is was my example.

New functions even if inherited can be typehinted with a return. Also recommend using MRs as patches are being phased out and not as supported

Here's the patch with test coverage, this is now against Drupal 11.x, functions are typehinted.

Will create a MR.

The "Views Default Argument: Entity Field Values" module already provides this functionality and much much more, see https://www.drupal.org/project/views_arg_entity_field →

I don't think we should be adding something so Node specific to core. The problem with these default arguments is that they are not filtered and all of them always show up on all fields even when totally inappropriate (filtering a date field by current node type when viewing a taxonomy term anyone?), so I'd prefer the list we have by default in core to stay as small as possible. Yes default arguments are great tools but having a generic solution like the module provides is, I think, a better way forward than adding individual fields to core.

Forgot to untag

Totally agree, didn't know about this module, just tested it and it works for my use case.

Closing the issue.

Also was not aware of that module. Thanks @Lendude!
