Is there a type for "any crawler"?

🎭PlaywrightCrawler

I have a bunch of different crawler definitions (for different sites) that might use different crawlee crawlers. Site X might use a

PlaywrightCrawler

PlaywrightCrawler

while site Y uses

CheerioCrawler

CheerioCrawler

. I wrap this logic in a definition like

class SiteXCrawlerDefinition {
  getCrawler() { return new PlaywrightCrawler() }
}

class SiteXCrawlerDefinition {
  getCrawler() { return new PlaywrightCrawler() }
}

since I do want to add an interface to the crawler definition classes I'd need a return type for

getCrawler

getCrawler

BasicCrawler

BasicCrawler

doesn't work - is there another type for "just any crawlee crawler"?
