I have a custom module which is already installed in production. Now I want to add a new custom type to the module without re-installing (don't want to lose existing production content). My understanding is that the config/install/node.type.*.yml files are only loaded on install of the module. I am running Drupal 8.3.5.
Can I do something in a method that would be run with update.php?
I already know how to add a field to an existing content type. That is not my question. This is a change that needs to go through our formal deployment process and is repeatable for future developers.
I am only looking to save a simple key-value pair. I am being told that I can't use the State or Key/Value library because we need the revision history that comes with actual content types.
