Can't return Task<List<Guid>> in controller

[darius-khll]

consider the following code

        [Function]
        [Parameter("categoryId", typeof(Guid))]
        public virtual async Task<Guid[]> GetlocationIdsByCategoryId([FromODataUri]Guid categoryId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            return await _categoryInLocationsRepository.GetAll().Where(c => c.ProductCategoryId == categoryId).Select(c => c.LocationId).ToArrayAsync(cancellationToken);
        }

above code makes these error
Build:Type 'string' does not satisfy the constraint 'Entity'.

Based on my tests, and based on line 147 of sample jaydata code located in https://github.com/jaystack/odata4-webapi-endpoint/blob/development/WebApi_2_2_OData_4/client/JayDataContext.js which is
SFunction1: { type: $data.ServiceFunction, returnType: 'Edm.String', params: [{ name: 'number', type: 'Edm.Int32' }] }
We've no real problem with this at runtime. There is a small problem with jaydata defenitions. We've to remove T extends Entity generic constraint from $data.Queryable of jaydata in line 56 of jaydata.d.ts @Alikhll Could you please do this in https://github.com/bit-foundation/jaydata/blob/development/jaydata.d.ts and then report the test results here?

There is a problem with string[] (or any [] like types) in code generator, I'm gonna fix that. But There might be no other problem with List, IEnumerable, IQueryable etc.

it seems changing the generic T could solve this issue, thanks bro
