Allow wildcard fields in FragmentReplacement

[Sat Mandir S. Khalsa]

Assuming I have the following GraphQL type:

type AudioListen implements Activity {
  id: ID!
  user: User!
  audio: Audio!
}

I'd like to be able to add a wildcard FragmentReplacement

export const fragmentReplacements: FragmentReplacement[] = [
  {
    field: '*',
    fragment: '... on AudioListen { user { id } }',
  },
];

So that the user ID is always fetched if any of the fields are fetched.

Hey @smkhalsa,

Could you share the chunk of code where you need it? I think we just have to turn the problem around a bit to get it working.

@maticzav I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for.

As mentioned above, I'd like to be able to use the * wildcard in FragmentReplacements so that certain fields are always included in the result.

Expanding on the above example, if I had the following query:

query {
  getAudioListen(id:"123") {
    id
    audio {
      id
    }
  }
}

Even though my query doesn't include any selections for user, I'd still want the response to include the user.id so that it can be used in a graphql-shield rule.

Each rule accepts a fragment option that you may use to specify which fields it relies on. Based on where you use the rule, graphql-shield will generate the fragment replacement that you later forward to server.
