@revskill10 can you provide an example of the use case?

@atulmy In my application, my query is like this

query {
  users (limit: 4) {
    posts (limit: 10) {
      title
      body
    }
  } 
}

@atulmy Thanks for taking this !
I'm using one library that supports this feature, but it's not that clean as yours.
Basically, its api is

const data = Query('author', {id: 160033}, [
  'name',
  Query('books', {}, [
    'id',
    'title',
    'isbn',
    Query('authors', {}, [
      'id',
      'name'
    ])
  ])
])
// To attach another field
// field takes arguments identical to both Query and Mutation
// (field, { args }, [ sub-fields ])
.field('book', {id: 4505161}, [
  'id',
  'title',
  Query('authors', {limit: 10}, [
    'id',
    'name'
  ]),
  'isbn'
])

Maybe you could learn from this !

Here's one approach:

const query = gql.query({
  operation: 'users',
  variables: { limit: { value: 4 } },
  fields: [{
    operation: 'posts',
    variables: { limit: { value: 10 } },
    fields: ['title', 'body']
  },
})

It's likely not a big change internally as the code has been factored along these lines already (extra type check in a certain place).

    'name',
    'email'

  ]
})

Yes, your approach looks cleaner than what I initially thought we could do:

const query = gql.query({
  operation: 'users',
  variables: {
    user: {
      limit: 4,
      post: {
        limit 10
      }
    }
  },
  fields: [
     'id',
     'name',
     {
        posts: [
          'title',
          'body'
        ]
    }
  ]
})
