defmodule Absinthe.Type.Scalar do

  Represents a primitive value.

  GraphQL responses take the form of a hierarchical tree; the leaves on these
  trees are scalars.

  Also see `Absinthe.Type.Object`.

  ## Built-In Scalars

  The following built-in scalar types are defined:

  * `:boolean` - Represents `true` or `false`. See the [GraphQL Specification](https://www.graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types).
  * `:float` - Represents signed double‐precision fractional values as specified by [IEEE 754](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point). See the [GraphQL Specification](https://www.graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types).
  * `:id` - Represents a unique identifier, often used to refetch an object or as key for a cache. The ID type is serialized in the same way as a String; however, it is not intended to be human‐readable. See the [GraphQL Specification](https://www.graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types).
  * `:integer` - Represents a signed 32‐bit numeric non‐fractional value, greater than or equal to -2^31 and less than 2^31. Note that Absinthe uses the full word `:integer` to identify this type, but its `name` (used by variables, for instance), is `"Int"`. See the [GraphQL Specification](https://www.graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types).
  * `:string` - Represents textual data, represented as UTF‐8 character sequences. The String type is most often used by GraphQL to represent free‐form human‐readable text. See the [GraphQL Specification](https://www.graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types).
  ## Examples

  Supporting a time format in ISOz format, using [Timex](http://hexdocs.pm/timex):

  ```
  scalar :time do
    description "Time (in ISOz format)"
    parse &Timex.DateFormat.parse(&1, "{ISOz}")
    serialize &Timex.DateFormat.format!(&1, "{ISOz}")
  end
  ```

    end
  end

  @typedoc """
  A defined scalar type.

  Note new scalars should be defined using `Absinthe.Schema.Notation.scalar`.

  * `:name` - The name of scalar. Should be a TitleCased `binary`. Set Automatically by `Absinthe.Schema.Notation.scalar`.
  * `:description` - A nice description for introspection.
  * `:serialize` - A function used to convert a value to a form suitable for JSON serialization
  * `:parse` - A function used to convert the raw, incoming form of a scalar to the canonical internal format.

  The `:__private__` and `:__reference__` keys are for internal use.
