Description
Hello!
I'm building my query dynamically. I want to select all the nested sub fields _(children, grand children etc)_. Is there a way to accomplish this with `gql`?
I'm not very fluent in graphql but I do know it's possible to build infinite nested queries, so is it even possible/easy to prevent that from happening?
I've experimented with looping through `ds.Content._type.fields` to somehow select each field and any children they might parent. But I find it confusing as some objects contains `of_type` attribute while others do not and I don't know why that is.
Might I be better off doing an introspection with
```graphql
{
__schema {
types {
name
fields {
name
}
}
}
}
```
and determine any children by simply parsing the json data? Seems redundant.
