Scalars

Scalars are primitive values such as Int or String. GraphQL queries and responses take the form of a hierarchical tree; the leaves on these trees are GraphQL scalars. For more information, see the GraphQL spec.

Scalar Definition
ARN Amazon Web Services ARN.
Boolean Represents true or false values.
Date An ISO-8601 encoded UTC date string. Example value: "2019-07-16".
DateTime An ISO-8601 encoded UTC date time string. Example value: "2019-07-03T20:47:55Z".
Decimal A signed decimal number, which supports arbitrary precision and is serialized as a string. Example value: "29.99".
Float Represents signed double-precision fractional values as specified by IEEE 754.
FormattedString A string containing a strict subset of HTML code. Non-allowed tags will be stripped out. Allowed tags:
+ a (allowed attributes: href)
+ b
+ br
+ em
+ i
+ strong
+ u
Example value: "Your current domain is <strong>johns-apparel.myshopify.com</strong>."
HTML A string containing HTML code. Example value: "<p>Grey cotton knit sweater.</p>".
ID 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, but 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.
Admin API example value: "gid://shopify/Product/10079785100".
Storefront API example value: "Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0LzEwMDc5Nzg1MTAw".
Int Represents non-fractional signed whole numeric values. Int can represent values between -(2^31) and 2^31 - 1.
JSON A JSON Object. Example value: { "key1": "Value 1", "key2": "Value 2", "key3": 3 }
Money A monetary value string. Example value: "100.57".
StorefrontID Represents a unique identifier in the Storefront API. A StorefrontID value can be used wherever an ID is expected in the Storefront API.
Example value: "Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0LzEwMDc5Nzg1MTAw".
String Represents textual data as UTF-8 character sequences. This type is most often used by GraphQL to represent free-form human-readable text.
URL An RFC 3986 and RFC 3987 compliant URI string.
Example value: "https://johns-apparel.myshopify.com".
UnsignedInt64 An unsigned 64-bit integer. Represents whole numeric values between 0 and 2^64 - 1 encoded as a string of base-10 digits.
Example value: "50".
UtcOffset Time between UTC time and a location’s observed time, in the format "+HH:MM" or "-HH:MM".
Example value: "-07:00".
