ServerValue timestamp

[David Carr]

Hello,

I'm trying to set the server time on my setData() for the cloud_firestore plugin. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Firestore.instance

          .collection('posts/' + widget.id + '/comments')

          .document()

          .setData(<String, dynamic>{

          'author':  'James', 

          'text':  'this is comment text',

          'timestamp': ServerValue.timestamp,

});

Do you get an error?
Is anything of your value persisted on the server?

As of right now, the Firestore plugin does not support ServerValue.timestamp (or DateTimes). Feel free to create an issue specifically about this.

Actually, investigating a little further, it seems ServerValue.timestamp should only be valid for Firebase Database, not Firestore.

A method exists to get the server timestamp in Firestore, but isn't implemented in the plugin yet.

Here's the open issue and the in-progress pull request to fix it.

Any luck on this?
