Content types already have a disabled
property:
{
"_config_name": "node.type.page",
"type": "page",
"name": "Page",
"description": "Add a page with static content, like the 'About' page.",
"settings": {
...
},
"base": "node_content",
"module": "node",
"node_preview": "1",
"help": "",
"modified": true,
"disabled": false, <----- HERE!
"has_title": true,
"title_label": "Title",
"orig_type": "page"
}
But we are not exposing any way to enable/disable content types in the UI. Lets do that

The database table where content types are stored is
node_type
. And there's a columndisabled
