Prisma

What are people using Nexus/Prisma doing for datetime/timestamp fields in their db.  For some reason, Nexus doesn't have them as a scalar type.  Do you pull them as strings and then use Moment or some other method to deal with them?  Do you create your own scalar type?  I don't see any examples of datetime fields in the usual documenation.

Hey <@U010G0ME2HK> :wave:
My personal method would be creating a scalar type. You can follow <https://www.nexusjs.org/#/components/schema/api/copy/api-scalarType|this> example from the Nexus docs as to how to create a custom scalar.

Thanks Ryan, that is the create page I'd found but wasn't sure if was still the best way to do it.  I do have a follow up question:  I haven't found anything yet on how to use a datetime as an arg.  Is there documentation somewhere on how I would implement a `dateArg` for that purpose?

<@UESADRKMY>  Sorry to ping you directly but I wanted to keep this thread intact.  I've got the scalar type working now (thank you!) but I'm still wondering about whether there's a way to make a `dateTimeArg` so I can use it in a findMany query or in a mutation.  Is this something that can be made or do I just need to use momentjs and strings and manipulate my code accordingly?

Did you try creating an input and passing the DateTime scalar as a type in that? If you pass it a string, it will automatically be converted to the Date object
