GraphQL: Add filter arguments at all levels

[ryanmerolle]

NetBox version

v3.1.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add filter arguments at all levels for GraphQL. Currently, it's only possible to define filter arguments at the top level.

Currently the below is supported:

{
  device_list(site: "MAD1") {
    id
    name
    site{
      name
    }
    interfaces {
      name
    }
  }
  interface_list(name:"eth0", site:"MAD1") {
    name
  }
}

Proposed functionality currently not supported, but common in most GraphQL setups:

{
  device_list(site: "MAD1") {
    id
    name
    site{
      name
    }
    interfaces(name: "eth0") {
      name
    }
  }
}

Use case

Have a more powerful query engine that will be able to return only the desired results by supporting GraphQL filter functionality commonly found in other deployments.

Before investing any further effort into our implementation of graphene-django, it's worth considering alternative backends, as the project is apparently dead.
