Is there any way to use FieldValue.serverTimestamp() in Firebase Firestore JS without Firebase-Admin

According to answer below, Firebase-Admin is required to use FieldValue.serverTimestamp().

How do I get the server timestamp in Cloud Functions for Firebase with Firestore? .

But I am using only Firebase JS and Firebase Firestore JS. The application runs only in client side. However, Firebase-Admin requires a server.

Is there any way to use server timestamp when doing a write operation ?

This answer is outdated, check above answer!

Simply use Firebase.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP within your object.

Like this:

ref.set({ time: Firebase.ServerValue.TIMESTAMP })
