About Scalars
Scalars
are primitive values: Int, Float,
String, Boolean, or ID.
When calling the GraphQL API, you must specify nested subfields until you return only scalars.
BigInt
The BigInt scalar type represents non-fractional whole numeric values.
BigInt is not constrained to 32-bit like the Int type and thus is a less
compatible type.
Example
1Boolean
The Boolean scalar type represents true or false.
Example
trueExample
"2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"Decimal
The Decimal scalar type represents a python Decimal.
Example
1.0Example
UNKNOWNFloat
The Float scalar type represents signed double-precision fractional values as specified by IEEE 754.
Example
1.0GenericScalar
The GenericScalar scalar type represents a generic
GraphQL scalar value that could be:
String, Boolean, Int, Float, List or Object.
Example
"abc123" | 1 | 1.0 | true | ["abc123"] | AccountTypeID
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.
Example
"abc123"Int
The Int scalar type represents non-fractional signed whole numeric values. Int can represent values between -(2^31) and 2^31 - 1.
Example
1JSONString
Allows use of a JSON String for input / output from the GraphQL schema.
Use of this type is not recommended as you lose the benefits of having a defined, static schema (one of the key benefits of GraphQL).
Example
{"key": "value"}NonEmptyString
Custom scalar type representing a non-empty string.
Example
UNKNOWNRoleString
Graphene String that validates against the available roles.
Example
UNKNOWNString
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.
Example
"abc123"
