  company(id: "2") {
    id
    name
    description
    users {
      id
      firstName
      age
      company {
        name
        description
      }
    }
  }
}

}

query fetchCompany{

  }
  apple: company(id: "1") {
    id
    name
    description
    users {
      id
      firstName
      age
