relay-modern FragmentContainer outside QueryRenderer

Is it possible? Can we use FragmentContainer outside a QueryRenderer? What I want to achieve: I have a RefetchContainer with a SectionList. Every item inside each section is a FragmentContainer. When I select an item from a section, I want to open a new screen where I display a FlatList of these items. The data I pass from the SectionList on item select is a list of FragmentContainer. Thus I can't see the data so I need to use fragments for it. If I use just fragments inside the FlatList I get a missing environment from the RelayFragmentContainer. So I added a QueryRenderer as parent for the FlatList where I request the same single section once again. But this makes an extra QueryRenderer request. I want to display the data from the previous screen. At least I pass this list of FragmentContainer as cacheConfig and return it from the fetchQuery method but, the json differs from the response json hence it is not raw data but already __fragments, thus the Relay cannot parse it.

It would be good to get some code examples in this question of what your components and fragments look like. That said, you might want to investigate using the @mask directive.

I've taken an example from the Relay documentation and included it here:

module.exports = createFragmentContainer(
  ({ user }) => ...,
  graphql`
    fragment Component_user on User {
      internUser {
        manager {
          ...Component_internUser @relay(mask: false)
        }
        .... on Employee {
          admins {
            ...Component_internUser @relay(mask: false)
          }
          reports {
            ...Component_internUser @relay(mask: false)
          }
        }
      }
    }

    fragment Component_internUser on InternUser {
      id
      name
    }
  `,
);

By using the @mask data included from a fragment will be available in the component that is hosting the fragment. Relay documentation about this is available here: https://facebook.github.io/relay/docs/relay-directives.html#relay-mask-boolean
