# dropUnusedDefinitions Given an operation document and an operation name, this function will return a new document with only the definitions required for the operation name provided. If the provided operation name doesn't match any operation in the document, `dropUnusedDefinitions` will return the original document. ## Usage ```ts import { dropUnusedDefinitions } from "@apollo/utils.dropunuseddefinitions"; const operation = parse(`#graphql query Drop { ...DroppedFragment } fragment DroppedFragment on Query { abc } query Keep { ...KeptFragment } fragment KeptFragment on Query { def } `); const keepOperation = dropUnusedDefinitions(operation, "Keep"); /** query Keep { ...KeptFragment } fragment KeptFragment on Query { def } */ ```
