Just want to save Date as timestamp in Firestore database but it's storing timestamp as number:



save() {
const data = this.transactionForm.value;
data.type = data.type == 'true' || data.type == true ? true : false;
data.updated = firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp();
// Date string to timestamp
data.date = new Date(data.date.split("-").reverse().join("-")).getTime();
let id = data.id;
this.transCollection.doc(id).update(data);
}

  • I think this is because typescript date is actually displayed in unix time. You can add a | date pipe to your view, to convert it there if that is what you need?

  unixToTimestamp() {
const date = new Date();
const hours = date.getHours();
const minutes = date.getMinutes();
const seconds = date.getSeconds();
const day = date.getDate();
const month = date.getMonth() + 1;
const year = date.getFullYear();

console.log(hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds);
console.log(day + '/' + month + '/' + year);
}


I tried this out in typescript, and i got the following output:



11:25:07
19/11/2018


This way you can choose how you want to create your timestamp and save it in firestore



You could also print out month the way you want.



const months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];

const month = months[date.getMonth()];


This is because date.getMonth() gets index, which is why i use +1 to get a month.
