How to get server Timestamp from firebase v9?

Question

Please, I need your help to get the server timestamp from Firebase version 9.

I've tried to follow the same approach as for Firebase v8 : firebase.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimeStamp() but didn't work for version 9.

Is there any way to do the same thing in Firebase version 9 ?

Answer 1

It's discussed in the documentation. Just import serverTimestamp.

import { updateDoc, serverTimestamp } from "firebase/firestore";

const docRef = doc(db, 'objects', 'some-id');

// Update the timestamp field with the value from the server
const updateTimestamp = await updateDoc(docRef, {
    timestamp: serverTimestamp()
});

If you get type error with other answers you can try this:

import { Timestamp} from '@firebase/firestore';

createdAt: Timestamp.fromDate(new Date())
