GraphQL custom schema directives and scalar types

The API Connect DataPower® API Gateway extends the GraphQL specification by providing additional schema directives and custom scalar types.

Custom schema directives

@cost: The @cost directive associates weight values with types or fields. Types are used to calculate type cost of a request to the GraphQL API. Fields are used to calculate field cost of a request to the GraphQL API. For more information, see The Cost Directive.
@listSize: The @listSize directive applies slicing arguments to fields. For more information, see The List Size directive.
@remove: The @remove GraphQL schema directive specifies conditions for removing types and fields from validation or introspection for each transaction based on values in the API context. For more information, see @remove directive
@scalarParam: The @scalarParam directive allows further customization of custom scalar types. For more information, see @scalarParam directive.

Date: The Date custom scalar type is used to define custom scalars that specify dates. For more information, see Date Custom Scalar.
DateTime: The DateTime custom scalar type is used to define custom scalars that specify date and time. For more information, see DateTime Custom Scalar.
JSON: The JSON custom scalar type is used to specify JSON payloads. For more information, see JSON Custom Scalar.
Long: The Long custom scalar type enables the use of integers larger than those allowed by Int. For more information, see Long Custom Scalar.
