Firestore - Unable to use FieldValue.serverTimestamp() #2429
Open
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To set a timestamp in Firestore, it's a best practice to use the server-side timestamp as opposed to a timestamp generated by the client side. The server side timestamp is set using FieldValue.serverTimestamp();
Describe the solution you'd like
Unsure how to best support this use case, since we have strongly typed Timestamp field.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Make the field type FiledValue
instead of Timestamp
, but it's harder when retrieving.
