Scalars are primitive values: Int
, Float
, String
, Boolean
, ID
, etc. When calling the GraphQL API, you must specify nested subfields until you return only scalars.
BigFloat
A floating point number that requires more precision than IEEE 754 binary 64
BigInt
A signed eight-byte integer. The upper big integer values are greater than the max value for a JavaScript number. Therefore all big integers will be output as strings and not numbers.
Boolean
The Boolean
scalar type represents true
or false
.
Cursor
A location in a connection that can be used for resuming pagination.
Date
The day, does not include a time.
Datetime
A point in time as described by the ISO 8601 standard. May or may not include a timezone.
ID
The ID
scalar type represents a unique identifier, often used to refetch an object or as key for a cache. The ID type appears in a JSON response as a String; however, it is not intended to be human-readable. When expected as an input type, any string (such as "4"
) or integer (such as 4
) input value will be accepted as an ID.
Int
The Int
scalar type represents non-fractional signed whole numeric values. Int can represent values between -(2^31) and 2^31 - 1.
JSON
The JSON
scalar type represents JSON values as specified by ECMA-404.
String
The String
scalar type represents textual data, represented as UTF-8 character sequences. The String type is most often used by GraphQL to represent free-form human-readable text.
