Shared field for blocks? It's wasting bytes in the graphql query

[Stupidism]

I have a blocks field with multiple sections with a shared sectionStyle field. Now it can only be fetched with duplicate queries like this:

I want sth like this to work:

Anybody facing similar issue like me?

The possible solution would be allow customizing shared type fields like __typename, blockName and blockType.

Yes this is one of my biggest concerns when using graphql with payload. I've had to repeat all fields.

We are actively building a solution for this!

#1410

It's in progress as I write this comment.

@jmikrut Thanks, the link you shared describes my question much better than myself.

[Stupidism]

@jmikrut Sorry, I found this is actually a different feature request after I just tested the new feature released in 1.9.

[Stupidism]

I cannot use string templates or gql inline fragments feature because we're using apollo to generate typescript based on the literal graphql query.

Close for duplication: #1410

@jmikrut What I'm requesting is a graphql client query feature to saving graphql query bytes on client size,

but not a typescript optimization to saving generated code in code repo.
