Pull Request: Update Custom Node Inputs/Outputs Syntax
This updates the n8n custom node documentation to replace the outdated
inputs: ['main']andoutputs: ['main']syntax with the correct usage ofinputs: [NodeConnectionType.Main]andoutputs: [NodeConnectionType.Main].This change fixes TypeScript type errors and aligns the documentation with current n8n development practices, improving clarity and accuracy for developers building custom nodes.
