Class GraphQLScalarType

java.lang.Object

graphql.schema.GraphQLScalarType

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphQLDirectiveContainer, GraphQLInputType, GraphQLNamedInputType, GraphQLNamedOutputType, GraphQLNamedSchemaElement, GraphQLNamedType, GraphQLNullableType, GraphQLOutputType, GraphQLSchemaElement, GraphQLType, GraphQLUnmodifiedType

public class GraphQLScalarType
extends java.lang.Object
implements GraphQLNamedInputType, GraphQLNamedOutputType, GraphQLUnmodifiedType, GraphQLNullableType, GraphQLDirectiveContainer

A scalar type is a leaf node in the graphql tree of types. This class allows you to define new scalar types.

GraphQL provides a number of built‐in scalars, but type systems can add additional scalars with semantic meaning, for example, a GraphQL system could define a scalar called Time which, while serialized as a string, promises to conform to ISO‐8601. When querying a field of type Time, you can then rely on the ability to parse the result with an ISO‐8601 parser and use a client‐specific primitive for time. From the spec : http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-Scalars

graphql-java ships with a set of predefined scalar types via Scalars

                                     Coercing coercing)

Deprecated. use the newScalar() builder pattern instead, as this constructor will be made private in a future version.

Parameters:

name - the name

description - the description

coercing - the coercing function

GraphQLScalarType

@Deprecated
public GraphQLScalarType(java.lang.String name,
                                     java.lang.String description,
                                     Coercing coercing,

Deprecated. use the newScalar() builder pattern instead, as this constructor will be made private in a future version.

Parameters:

name - the name

description - the description

coercing - the coercing function

directives - the directives on this type element

definition - the AST definition

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface GraphQLNamedSchemaElement

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Specified by:

getDescription in interface GraphQLNamedSchemaElement

getSpecifiedByUrl

public java.lang.String getSpecifiedByUrl()

getCoercing

public Coercing getCoercing()

getDefinition

public ScalarTypeDefinition getDefinition()

Description copied from interface: GraphQLNamedSchemaElement

The AST Node this schema element is based on. Is null if the GraphQLSchema is not based on a SDL document. Some elements also have additional extension Nodes. See for example GraphQLObjectType.getExtensionDefinitions()

Specified by:

getDefinition in interface GraphQLNamedSchemaElement

Returns:

Node which this element is based on. Can be null.

getExtensionDefinitions

public java.util.List<ScalarTypeExtensionDefinition> getExtensionDefinitions()

getDirectives

public java.util.List<GraphQLDirective> getDirectives()

Specified by:

getDirectives in interface GraphQLDirectiveContainer

Returns:

a list of directives associated with the type or field

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

transform

public GraphQLScalarType transform(java.util.function.Consumer<GraphQLScalarType.Builder> builderConsumer)

This helps you transform the current GraphQLObjectType into another one by starting a builder with all the current values and allows you to transform it how you want.

Parameters:

builderConsumer - the consumer code that will be given a builder to transform

Returns:

a new object based on calling build on that builder

accept

public TraversalControl accept(TraverserContext<GraphQLSchemaElement> context,
                               GraphQLTypeVisitor visitor)

Specified by:

Specified by:

getChildren in interface GraphQLSchemaElement

getChildrenWithTypeReferences

public SchemaElementChildrenContainer getChildrenWithTypeReferences()

Specified by:

getChildrenWithTypeReferences in interface GraphQLSchemaElement

withNewChildren

public GraphQLScalarType withNewChildren(SchemaElementChildrenContainer newChildren)

Specified by:

withNewChildren in interface GraphQLSchemaElement
