I'm using the
gatsby-transformer-json
plugin to parse a raw JSON string into Javascript objects. Some of the values are numbers but some (not all) are coming through as strings after a GraphQL query.I believe this is due to them being treated as dates. In particular, a number with four or eight digits is treated as a date if it matched one of the following date formats: YYYY, YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDD.
This PR removes these date formats from the matching criteria when inferring the GraphQL type. I think this is more in line with what a user would expect and still allows data which is more obviously a date to be parsed as expected.
