How do I implement firebase's Timestamp as a valid type?

Question

ts/ io-ts and am trying to implement Firebase.Timestamp as a valid type. But I keep getting errors. I can create a normal copy of the time stamp:

copyTimeStamp = {
  seconds : t.number,
  nanoseconds : t.number
}

but if I push that onto firebase using the custom encoded type from io-ts, it isn't stored as Timestamp property rather its just a plain map..

You need to import FirebaseFirestoreTypes from @react-native-firebase/firestore.

Here it is:

import {FirebaseFirestoreTypes} from '@react-native-firebase/firestore';

...

type StateTypes = {
  created_at: FirebaseFirestoreTypes.Timestamp | null;
  updated_at: FirebaseFirestoreTypes.Timestamp | null;
}
