  startDate(format: String, drupalDateFormat: DrupalDateFormat): String!
  endDate(format: String, drupalDateFormat: DrupalDateFormat): String!
}

Example with Drupal Format ​

Use the drupalDateFormat argument with the name of the Drupal date format:

graphql
query {
  entityById(entityType: NODE, id: 5) {
    ... on Node {
      fieldDate {
        formatted(drupalDateFormat: HTML_DATETIME)
      }
    }
  }
}

Example with PHP Format ​

Use the format argument if you want to provide the datetime.format yourself:

graphql
query {
  entityById(entityType: NODE, id: 5) {
    ... on Node {
      fieldDate {
        formatted(format: "Y")
      }
    }
  }
}
