Not possible to return timestamps!?

[bradennapier]

So it is apparently not possible to handle timestamp values in ms ? Seems completely broken

{
      "message": "Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 1503608145148",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 5,
          "column": 7
        }
      ],
      "path": [
        "project",
        "events",
        0,
        "timestamp"
      ]
    },

Should there not be some kind of support to handle timestamp values? I would imagine a HUGE amount of api's need this...

Ok, float does work -- but still seems like there needs to be built-in date support.

This is following the GraphQL spec:

Numeric integer values larger than 32‐bit should either use String or a custom‐defined Scalar type, as not all platforms and transports support encoding integer numbers larger than 32‐bit.

So, the answer is to encode this kind of value to string.

As for date support, that is a separate issue: graphql/graphql-spec#315
