React Native map function to get date drom database-CodePudding

I would like to display the date form my database (firestore) on my frontend but it only gives me seconds and nanoseconds as values when it clearly correct in the database.

I am doing a map function to get the data from the database.

<Text style={styles.datecon}>{comp.date.seconds}</Text>

The above code works but gives me a string of all the seconds.

<Text style={styles.datecon}>{comp.date}</Text>

The above code doesn't work due to it being an object and needs to be expanded but I can onlyu expand it to seconds and nanoseconds.

Here is where I console.log the data

Here is the data in firestore

Create a function to convert seconds to date.

const convertToDate = (seconds) => {
    return new Date(seconds).toString();
}

Then use it in your jsx.

<Text style={styles.datecon}>{convertToDate(comp.date.seconds)}</Text>

Thanks to the answer (from bgcodes) I mahnage to fix the error and also fixing the date to not say 1970 you should just *1000 to get the correct date

const convertToDate = (seconds) => {
    return new Date(seconds*1000).toString();
}

<Text style={styles.datecon}>{convertToDate(comp.date.seconds)}</Text>

What you get from the SDK is a Firestore-specific type called a Timestamp, which has helpful methods listed here.

One of these is to get a Date object from the timestamp, which you'd do with , much simpler with:

<Text style={styles.datecon}>{comp.date.toDate()}</Text>
