Scalars
Scalars are “leaf” values in GraphQL. There are several built-in scalars, and you can define custom scalars, too. (Enums are also leaf values.) The built-in scalars are:
- String, like a JSON or Ruby string
- Int, like a JSON or Ruby integer
- Float, like a JSON or Ruby floating point decimal
- Boolean, like a JSON or Ruby boolean (true or false)
- ID, which a specialized String for representing unique object identifiers
- ISO8601DateTime, an ISO 8601-encoded datetime
- ISO8601Date, an ISO 8601-encoded date
- JSON, This returns arbitrary JSON (Ruby hashes, arrays, strings, integers, floats, booleans and nils). Take care: by using this type, you completely lose all GraphQL type safety. Consider building object types for your data instead.
- BigInt, a numeric value which may exceed the size of a 32-bit integer
