Beyond Built-in Types

GraphQL ships with scalars like Int, String, and Boolean. But real domains need more: a fixed set of statuses, a proper date type, or a validated email.

Enums and custom scalars let your schema express these precisely.

What Is a GraphQL Enum?

An enum restricts a field to a fixed list of named values. Clients can only send or receive one of those values, and tooling can offer autocompletion.

enum OrderStatus {
  PENDING
  SHIPPED
  DELIVERED
  CANCELLED
}

Using an Enum in a Type

Reference the enum like any other type. The field is now guaranteed to hold a valid status.

type Order {
  id: ID!
  status: OrderStatus!
}

Mapping Enums to Java

Spring for GraphQL maps a schema enum to a Java enum automatically when the names match exactly.

public enum OrderStatus {
    PENDING, SHIPPED, DELIVERED, CANCELLED
}

Why Custom Scalars?

The built-in scalars are limited. Representing a date as a String loses meaning and validation. A custom scalar defines how a domain value is serialized, deserialized, and validated.

Declaring a Scalar in the Schema

First declare the scalar name in your SDL, then use it on fields.

scalar DateTime

type Event {
  id: ID!
  startsAt: DateTime!
}

Using a Pre-built Scalar Library

The graphql-java-extended-scalars library provides ready-made scalars for DateTime, Date, URL, and more, so you do not write them by hand.

// build.gradle
implementation 'com.graphql-java:graphql-java-extended-scalars:21.0'

Registering a Scalar in Spring

Wire the scalar into the runtime with a RuntimeWiringConfigurer bean so the schema knows how to handle it.

@Bean
public RuntimeWiringConfigurer scalars() {
    return wiring -> wiring.scalar(ExtendedScalars.DateTime);
}

Writing Your Own Scalar

For a domain type you can define a GraphQLScalarType with a custom Coercing implementation controlling parse and serialize logic.

GraphQLScalarType.newScalar()
    .name("Email")
    .coercing(new EmailCoercing())
    .build();

Validation Inside Coercing

A scalar's Coercing can reject invalid input by throwing a CoercingParseValueException, giving you type-level validation for free.

if (!value.toString().contains("@")) {
    throw new CoercingParseValueException("Invalid email");
}

Best Practices

Use these types wisely:

Prefer enums over free-form strings for fixed sets
Reuse library scalars before writing your own
Keep Coercing logic pure and predictable
Document each custom scalar's expected format

Quick Check

Test your knowledge of enums and scalars.

Recap

You extended your schema's type system:

Enums restrict fields to a fixed value set
They map automatically to Java enums by name
Custom scalars model domain types like dates and emails
Use library scalars or write a Coercing for your own
Register scalars via RuntimeWiringConfigurer

Richer types make your API safer and more expressive.
