Here is my code, where I push a newsObj to the realtime database
addNewsObj(newsObj:News) {
this.newsListRef.push(newsObj).then((snap) => {
const key = snap.key;
console.log(key);
this.newsListRef.update(key, {news_timestamp_post_created: firebase.database.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP});
});
}
The outcome I want would be converting the long value I get from the db, something like this
news_timestamp_post_created:
1535716975480
To 59 mins ago or when it exceeds 24hrs, it displays it by days then months as time goes on. I wouldn't want something like 3000mins ago or 120days ago to be displayed on my app.
My problem here is that I dont know how to convert this 1535716975480 to readable terms
Any small tip would be a great help. Thank you!
EDIT:
I have tried doing this
let elapsed = news.news_timestamp_post_created;//1535716975480
console.log(new Date(elapsed));
which displayed 'Invalid date'
According to this SO link, the server timestamp is
"The doc says:
A placeholder value for auto-populating the current timestamp (time since the Unix epoch, in milliseconds) as determined by the Firebase servers"
I found out that,
