Fieldsincluding

Fieldsincluding is a term that appears mainly as a concatenated identifier rather than as a standard concept in data modeling or programming. In many codebases, it is used informally or accidentally to denote the act of including certain fields within a data structure, query result, or output. Because it is not a formal specification, its meaning relies on context and naming conventions within a particular project or library.

In practice, fieldsincluding tends to arise in API client libraries, query builders, or code generation where the intent is to specify which fields should be returned or retained. A hypothetical usage might involve a call or method named fieldsincluding that lists the fields to include, such as name, email, and timestamp. This mirrors the broader concept of projection, where a system returns only a subset of available fields. The exact syntax, language, or framework determines how the concept is implemented, and fieldsincluding is often one of several naming variants that convey the same idea.

Variants and related terms are common, including fieldsIncluding, fields_including, or includeFields. More standardized alternatives include includeFields, fieldsToInclude, or projection fields, depending on the language and design guidelines of a project. In many ecosystems, explicit and conventional names are preferred to avoid ambiguity and improve readability.

See also field projection, include parameter, select, and GraphQL selection sets. Since fieldsincluding is not a formal standard, practitioners should rely on explicit, well-documented names in their codebases.
