Wondering how to convert dates properly coming back to client from graphql API.

[bfonde]

Trying to ensure type safety in the Angular project I'm working on. In the codegen.ts file, adding this appears to work at first glance:

config: { scalars: { DateTime: "Date" } }

The generated scalar looks like this:

DateTime: { input: Date; output: Date; }

This seems to work fine for the input, however the output does not behave as I would expect. When I inspect the value of a property that was assigned to this scalar in Chrome's devtools it is very clearly a string:

This becomes a problem when the data is added to a primeng table, as the built in filtering mechanism will not work with a string and I'm having to convert each one to a date before filtering will work. Is there any way to truly force outputs from a graphql API to be Date objects instead of strings?
