<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-ID"><code>ID</code></a> scalar is <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-ID">defined in the GraphQL spec</a> as a type that is serialized as a string, but can be parsed from both a string and an integer.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>TIP</strong>: There is no built-in support for <code>i64</code>, <code>u64</code>, or other <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org">Rust</a> integer types, as the <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sel-FAHXJDCAACKB1qb">GraphQL spec doesn't define any built-in scalars for them</a> by default. Instead, to be supported, they should be defined as <a href="#custom">custom scalars</a> in a <a href="https://graphql.org/learn/schema">GraphQL schema</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="custom"><a class="header" href="#custom">Custom</a></h2>
<p>We can create <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Scalars.Custom-Scalars">custom scalars</a> for other primitive values, but they are still <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sel-FAHXJDCAACKB1qb">limited in the data types for representation</a>, and only introduce additional semantic meaning. This, also, often requires coordination with the client library, intended to consume the API we're building.</p>
<p><a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Scalars.Custom-Scalars">Custom scalars</a> can be defined in <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper">Juniper</a> by using either <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper/0.16.1/juniper/derive.GraphQLScalar.html"><code>#[derive(GraphQLScalar)]</code></a> or <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper/0.16.1/juniper/attr.graphql_scalar.html"><code>#[graphql_scalar]</code></a> attributes, which do work pretty much the same way (except, <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper/0.16.1/juniper/derive.GraphQLScalar.html"><code>#[derive(GraphQLScalar)]</code></a> cannot be used on <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html">type aliases</a>).</p>
<h3 id="transparent-delegation"><a class="header" href="#transparent-delegation">Transparent delegation</a></h3>
<p>Quite often, we want to create a <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Scalars.Custom-Scalars">custom GraphQL scalar</a> type by just wrapping an existing one, inheriting all its behavior. In <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org">Rust</a>, this is often called as <a href="https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/patterns/behavioural/newtype.html">"newtype pattern"</a>. This may be achieved by providing a <code>#[graphql(transparent)]</code> attribute to the definition:</p>
