Saving timestamp to firestore

See original GitHub issue

Hey that a really good library, helped me a lot. Thanks!

I’m trying to create a document with a timestamp in it and I’m keep getting an empty map on Firestore.

firestore.createDocument(USER_EXPIRATION_COLLECTION, { userId: userId, classId: classId, timestamp: new Date()});

and the output:

{ name: 'projects/.../usersClassesExpiration/...', fields: { userId: 'userId', timestamp: {}, classId: 'classId' }, createTime: Tue May 26 2020 11:11:09 GMT+0300 (Israel Daylight Time), updateTime: Tue May 26 2020 11:11:09 GMT+0300 (Israel Daylight Time) }

Verified that instanceof fails for Date objects outside of the library.

This line will be updated to include additional checks. Thanks for bringing this up!
