How to use content and components types in plugin files using entityService

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

I’m working on a controller file inside a plugin. I’m fetching the following content from api::league.league. I would like the const league to have the type of the content that’s being fetch, but instead its type end up being AnyEntity | null. How can I cast it to the correct content type, or is there something I’m missing?.

File src\plugins\green-gaming\server\controllers\leagues.ts

const league = (await strapi.entityService.findOne('api::league.league', leagueID, {
      fields: ["name"],
      populate: {
        teamsV2: {
          populate: {
            team: {
              fields: ["id", "name", "tag"],
            },
            replaces: {
              fields: ["id"],
            }
          }
        },
      }
    }))
