Get all the possible returned fields and types for query fields

[snikoletopoulos]

Is there a way to get the returned object from a query of the schema, not one I have created?
Use case: We need to create a function that will merge fields. To do so we need to handle all fields that the query can return
It would be great if there was a typescript type that contained these info.

Similar to introspection_types object but in typescript

I assume you want a TypeScript type for an object type?

What you're basically asking for is impossible. GraphQL Object types have no canonical JSON shape. That's because any given object can have a variable set of fields selected, fields can be aliased, fragments can be interpolated (conditionally), and fields may receive arguments, which alter the result.
In other words, only fragments can have a canonical, unambiguous TypeScript type.
