Question: Does the type generation work for custom scalars? #1

Closed capaj closed 5 years ago

capaj commented 5 years ago

We use a lot of custom scalars from https://github.com/capaj/graphql-scalars, would the type def generation work even for those?

helios1138 commented 5 years ago

custom scalar types are generated as aliases to any (since we can't know anything about them)

export type DateTime = any

and then these types are used as field types, so you'll still have readable type names in code completion

thanks. It would be nice to be able to define a custom scalar and be able to define how it should deserialize. Like for example if I had DateTime, I could define it to deserialize into a moment instance instead of just being a string.

@capaj good idea, I will put it on the roadmap!

capaj commented 5 years ago

I'll create that as a separate issue.
