Question

I\'m trying to get the timestamp of a document that I created in firestore, but what I get is this:

myService.ts

Answer 1

Thanks to @Renaud who put emphasis on where I was implementing the timestamp, it should be when creating a record in Firestore. In my case I am working with a formGroup, then the code would look something like this:

forma: FormGroup;

constructor( fb: FormBuilder) { 
  this.forma = fb.group ({
    field1: [ ''],
    field2: [ ''],
    ...
    myDate: [ firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp() ],
  });
}

This alternative also works but remember that it is the current time of the client's computer (user's browser).

forma: FormGroup;

constructor( fb: FormBuilder) { 
  this.forma = fb.group ({
    field1: [ ''],
    field2: [ ''],
    ...
    myDate: [ new Date() ],
  });
}
