php - How to query all the GraphQL type fields without writing a long query?

Question

Assume you have a GraphQL type and it includes many fields. How to query all the fields without writing down a long query that includes the names of all the fields?

For example, If I have these fields :

 public function fields()
    {
        return [
            'id' => [
                'type' => Type::nonNull(Type::string()),
                'description' => 'The id of the user'
            ],
            'username' => [
                'type' => Type::string(),
                'description' => 'The email of user'
            ], 
             'count' => [
                'type' => Type::int(),
                'description' => 'login count for the user'
            ]

        ];
    }

To query all the fields usually the query is something like this:

FetchUsers{users(id:"2"){id,username,count}}

But I want a way to have the same results without writing all the fields, something like this:

FetchUsers{users(id:"2"){*}}
//or
FetchUsers{users(id:"2")}

Is there a way to do this in GraphQL ??

I'm using Folkloreatelier/laravel-graphql library.

Unfortunately what you'd like to do is not possible. GraphQL requires you to be explicit about specifying which fields you would like returned from your query.
