Allow querying by entryId in headless CMS read api.

• Feature request

Detailed Description

Let’s say I’m using getArticles query (to get a single item from my Articles model).
Get queries expect a primary key so they can fetch the specific item.

With articles etc, title etc can be changed by the user, and the CMS modifies the ID on each publish/save. We need a way to uniquely identify an article for the purposes of the query, that doesn’t change when changes are saved/published

Possible Solution

As discussed, allow query by entryId via the read API.

To add more context to this issue, here's an example from the Playground:

I think we should simply allow querying by entryId, without the revision part. It should return the latest published record.
Also, it would be useful to expose some kind of _entryId field, so consumers of the API don't have to manipulate the id string themselves.

Hello! Do you have an idea yet what release, if any, this might end up in?

[Pavel910]

@econtentmaps no idea :) It will eventually.

hi @yk-company
it is possible to filter by entryId or id. contact us on https://webiny-community.slack.com/ if you have problems with this filter.

[yk-company]

I do not have access to the slack, but it worked with entryId, sorry for wasting your time. (I thought entryId was a free text field to set our own Id system)
