GraphQL Scalar for java.time.LocalDate parses dates as StringValue

I try to parse a date, e.g. “2022-02-02” as java.time.LocalDate.

Why the values passed to the scalar class are wrapped into curly braces? And how do I fix this?

I configured the scalar for java.time.LocalDate:

@Component
public class DateScalar extends GraphQLScalarType {

public DateScalar() {
    super("Date", "java.time.LocalDate", new Coercing() {
        @Override
        public Object serialize(Object o) throws CoercingSerializeException {
            return DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd").format((LocalDate) o);
        }

        @Override
        public Object parseValue(Object o) throws CoercingParseValueException {
            return LocalDate.parse(o.toString());
        }

        @Override
        public Object parseLiteral(Object o) throws CoercingParseLiteralException {
            if (o == null) {
                return null;
            }
            return parseValue(o.toString());
        }
        });
    }
}

This is the query:

mutation {
createEvent(createEventRequest: {
    name: "test",
    description: "test description",
    userId: 1,
    participants: [{
        firstName: "first",
        lastName: "last"
    }],
  location: {
    street: "street",
    streetNumber: "streetNumber",
    country: "country"
  },
  duration: {
    entireDay: false,
    recurringDate: false,
    start: "2018-09-03"
  }
}) {
    id
    name
    description
    participantResponses {
        id
        firstName
        lastName
    }
    locationResponse {
        id
        street
        streetNumber
        country
    }
    durationResponse {
        id
        start
        end
        entireDay
        recurringDate
    }
    userResponse {
        id
        firstName
        lastName
        email
    }
}
}

The error says that Text ‘StringValue{value=’2018-09-03′}’ could not be parsed at index 0. I do not really understand why this is still wrapped into curly brackets.

Answer

The parseLiteral method parameter is actually a node of the abstract syntax tree produced from parsing the GraphQL query. The method implementation should extract the literal value from the node:

@Override
public LocalDate parseLiteral(Object o) throws CoercingParseLiteralException {
  if (o instanceof StringValue) {
    var value = ((StringValue) o).getValue();
    try {
      return LocalDate.parse(value);
    } catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
      throw new CoercingParseLiteralException("Cannot parse [" + value + "] to LocalDate", e);
    }
  } else {
    throw new CoercingParseLiteralException(
        "Expected literal of type StringValue but was " + o.getClass());
  }
}
