How to transport Date and Time?

Question

What is the best way to get the current Time, save it to firebase, and then, after downloading it at another device, showing it as a human-readable format? (in JS)

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you can do something similar to this code which return a formatted string of the date

you can make the formatter function better by having it accept a format string ('dd/MM/YYYY' for example) which determines the output format

take into consideration tho that Firebase supplies its own timestamp which determined by the server and not on the client
