How to handle circular refrences

[arihant30]

What happened?

In the following example schema mentioned below, if we query product and then within it we query brands. Subsequently, we can query brands again and so on. We're also making custom models to prevent fetching child objects that might not be used.

What did you expect?

What is the correct way to handle such circular references, preferably without having to make changes in the schema.
Even if such recursive calls were allowed, how do we return the previously fetched object without having query the db again every time such a request is made.

Minimal graphql.schema and models to reproduce

type Brand {
id: ID!
name: String!
products: [Product[
}
type Product{
id: ID!
name: String!
Brands: Brand
}
