`@ngrx/signals/entities`: Export `EntityChanges` type

signals

Information

Hi, i built an application that uses an entity signal store with a big set of functions so to clean up the file i moved all the entity update functions inside another file to make them reusable too.

The problem is that functions like: UpdateEntity requires an EntityChanges<NoInfer> as the changes property and that can be both an Entity or a function to update an entity.

The issue is that if i have the update function extracted and moved to another file the function can not be securely typed as EntityChanges<...<...>> because EntityChanges is not an exported member from "@ngrx/signals/entities/src/models" so I cannot do an import like:
import { EntityChanges } from '@ngrx/signals/entities';

and create a function as:

export function updateMyEntity(): EntityChanges<NoInfer<MyEntity>> {
    return (myEntity) => {
        // Some Changes
    }
}

Describe any alternatives/workarounds you're currently using

For now i created a custom type inside my file

type EntityChanges =
  | Partial<NoInfer<MyEntity>>
  | ((entity: NoInfer<MyEntity>) => Partial<NoInfer<MyEntity>>);

So that i can use it as:

export function updateMyEntity(): EntityChanges {
    return (myEntity) => {
        // Some Changes
    }
}

I would be willing to submit a PR to fix this issue

@DJREMiX6 feel free to create the PR that adds EntityChanges to the public API. Please note that exports in index.ts are sorted alphabetically.
