Add Post-Processing Deduplication for Deep GraphQL Queries/mutations #942

@jgroom33

Description

@jgroom33

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Problem
The current amplify-codegen generates GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions with a uniform depth (configurable via --maxDepth), but it doesn’t address redundant data in deeply interrelated schemas.

It may be useful to generate queries with a max depth of 4, but duplicated data from a closely related object may be generated unnecessarily.

Goal
Provide a mechanism to prune any duplicated query branches.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a flag --deduplicate

When used with --maxDepth it could be possible to generate queries that can traverse the entire graph with no duplication.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Write custom queries with varying custom depths for each related object.
