Apollo client - field policies - field policy for READ at type level not field level

Hello everybody,

I can’t seem to find a way to read an entire type without having to resort to individual fieldPolicies for every field in that type.

const cache = new InMemoryCache({
    typePolicies: {
        SomeType: {
            fields:{
                // defining individual field (READ) policies would be insane (at least for my case)
                // is there at least something like a wildcard mechanism?
            },
            merge, // yeah... possible at type level
            // read ??? not possible, so... Is there any other way to do this? I want to be able to return a different ref based on some condition
        }
    }
})

@kelvin2212 can you share an example of your query?

query GetUser($id: String!){
    user(where: $id){
        firstName 
        lastName
        organization{
            id
            // someType is of type SomeType as in the question
            // nested explicitly to avoid an answer where one would say
            // "you can add a field policy on Query"
            // that solution won't work given that
            // SomeType is part of more than one query and always nested
            someType{
                id
            }
        }
    }
}

Need to intercept the read at a type level

Can you please share your thoughts?

Can you tell me more about the use case here? I’m not aware of a specific API to achieve this but it feels like a bit of a code smell. If you could provide more info as to why you need to intercept a read, I think I can help you out with more precision.
