Insert a timestamp of data insertion into database
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I want to add a timestamp of a data entry creation, example:
myRef.child("uid").setValue(data);
//add timestamp to the same path myRef.child("uid").setValue(<timestamp here>)
What would be the best timestamp, so that it will be independent of any time zone? (For example if a user's phone clock is set to the wrong time)
I did see this article from Firebae docs: Timestamp, but can't figure how to use it.

Use the value placeholder firebase.database.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP to update a value with the current clock time on the server at the time of the write, as seen by the server. It's a token value that means nothing on the client but has a special meaning on the server when it's written.
