Craft Color FIelds returns an error

[masato-arai]

I'm trying to get a color fields' HEX code but I got an error below.

{
  "error": "String cannot represent non scalar value: instance of craft\\fields\\data\\ColorData"
}

My code is something like this and the 'bgColor' in slides block is the color fields. Color fields' type returns string but I can't get return the HEX code somehow.

{
  entries(section: [screensaver]) {
    ... on Screensaver {
      id
      title
      slides {
        ... on SlidesBlock {
          __typename
          bgColor
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Cheers, Masato

I'm running in to the same issue, I believe the Color field should't be a string but use the following structure: https://docs.craftcms.com/api/v3/craft-fields-data-colordata.html#public-properties

so when using the code above it would be like this:

{
  entries(section: [screensaver]) {
    ... on Screensaver {
      id
      title
      slides {
        ... on SlidesBlock {
          __typename
          bgColor {
            hex
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I've opened a PR: https://github.com/markhuot/craftql/pull/141 that fixes the bug, but is has no support for color channels yet

FYI, in the Schema explorer it still shows these fields as coming back string.

They should have a subselection of:

FIELD {
        hex
        rgb
        luma
        r
        g
        b
}

I spent a while trying to troubleshoot this error because the schema explorer shows it as type string.
