Scalars
=======
Graphene define the following base Scalar Types:
- ``graphene.String``
- ``graphene.Int``
- ``graphene.Float``
- ``graphene.Boolean``
- ``graphene.ID``
Graphene also provides custom scalars for Dates and JSON:
- ``graphene.types.datetime.DateTime``
- ``graphene.types.json.JSONString``
Custom scalars
--------------
You can create a custom scalar for your schema.
The following is an example for creating a DateTime scalar:
.. code:: python
import datetime
from graphene.core.classtypes import Scalar
from graphql.core.language import ast
class DateTime(Scalar):
'''DateTime Scalar Description'''
@staticmethod
def serialize(dt):
return dt.isoformat()
@staticmethod
def parse_literal(node):
if isinstance(node, ast.StringValue):
return datetime.datetime.strptime(
node.value, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
@staticmethod
def parse_value(value):
return datetime.datetime.strptime(value, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")
Mounting Scalars
----------------
This scalars if are mounted in a ``ObjectType``, ``Interface`` or
``Mutation``, would act as ``Field``\ s.
.. code:: python
class Person(graphene.ObjectType):
name = graphene.String()
# Is equivalent to:
class Person(graphene.ObjectType):
name = graphene.Field(graphene.String())
If the types are mounted in a ``Field``, would act as ``Argument``\ s.
.. code:: python
graphene.Field(graphene.String(), to=graphene.String())
# Is equivalent to:
graphene.Field(graphene.String(), to=graphene.Argument(graphene.String()))
