Angular - v13.1 Firebase - ^9.6.2
In the old version of firebase, it was possible to import firebase into an Angular component to utilise the serverTimestamp property:
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/firestore';
---
this.afs.doc(`${db_path}`).set({
dateCreated: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp(),
)};
However, since being on the new version, this approach no longer seems to work. Looking through the documentation, I haven't (...yet) found anything that suggests an alternate way to import firebase into a component to use this value.
Is there a better approach to utilise the timestamp type to set as a value?
Ok, so the following seems to work. Not sure if it's 100% correct.
Model/Interface
import { FieldValue, serverTimestamp } from "firebase/firestore";
export interface Folder extends Base {
created: typeof serverTimestamp | FieldValue | Date;
}
Component
import { serverTimestamp } from "firebase/firestore";
---
new(){
this.afs.collection<Model>(`path`).add({
created: serverTimestamp()
})
}
