GraphQL query: only include field if not null

Question

Does GraphQL have the possibility for the client to tell the server that it wants a field only if that field is not null?

Given the query

Answer 1

You can use this ES6 syntax in front-end:

Object.keys(data).forEach((key) => (data[key] == null) && delete data[key]);

Answer 2

As far as I know this is not possible, there are directives like @skip and @include. Directives but they need a variable, I think you can make your case with the graphql team to extend the directives to only include the field if it's not null.
