[FEAT-REQ] Custom ID type for TreeNode

[GamerGirlandCo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I tried changing an existing data type in my project to extend TreeNode. However, since the ID is assumed to be a string, typescript complains.

Describe the solution you'd like Change the TreeNode interface to be generic

export interface TreeNode<T> {
  id: T,
  // ...
}

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Screenshots or screen records N/A

Additional context N/A

Would you like to work on this feature? Absolutely!

@GamerGirlandCo Hey there! 👋

Thanks for your feature request and your interest in contributing to the project!

For IDs, I'd suggest using string | number types instead of a more generic template type. These are the most common and practical types for IDs. If you have a specific use case that requires other types, please let me know so we can consider any potential challenges.

So, the TreeNode would look like this:

export interface TreeNode<T extends (string| number)> {
    id: T;
    name: string;
    children?: TreeNode<T>[];
    [key: string]: any;
}

If you'd like to work on this feature and make a PR for it, please ensure all test cases pass and that necessary refactorizations are in place.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Your contribution is much appreciated!
