How to convert the firebase timestamp using angular date pipe

Question

I am trying to display some firebase timestamp in the template view, Unfortunately no luck with the angular datePipe.

<p>Seen {{user.updatedAt | date: 'yyyy/MM/dd h:mm:ss a'}}</p> 

I do get this error:

     ERROR Error: InvalidPipeArgument:  'Unable to convert "Timestamp(seconds=1528515928, nanoseconds=105000000)"  into a date' for pipe 'DatePipe 

Answer 1

You can either convert Timestamp to milliseconds or to Date:

<p>Seen {{user.updatedAt.toMillis() | date:'yyyy/MM/dd h:mm:ss a'}}</p> 

or

<p>Seen {{user.updatedAt.toDate() | date:'yyyy/MM/dd h:mm:ss a'}}</p>
