+### Ignore fields of the initial object
+We sometimes want to ignore specific fields in the initial object, for instance __typename in Apollo queries.
+While we can put the field value to `false`, we might want to keep its value.
+You can specify those fields not to be put into the final GraphQL query though the `ignoreFields` option:
+
+```typescript
+import { jsonToGraphQLQuery, VariableType } from 'json-to-graphql-query';
+
+const query = {
+    query: {
+        Posts: {
+            __ignore: {
+                variable1: 'a value'
+            },
+            id: true,
+            title: true,
+            post_date: true
+        }
+    }
+};
+const graphql_query = jsonToGraphQLQuery(query, { pretty: true, ignoreFields: ['__ignore'] });
+```
+
+Resulting `graphql_query`
+
+```graphql
+query {
+    Posts {
+        id
+        title
+        post_date
+    }
+}
+```
