firebase.firestore.Timestamp.fromDate() is undefined

I'm trying to take a Date() object and turn it into a proper Firebase timestamp for data. I found this function in the docs but it doesn't work for me. When I try to save as Date(date) it will save as a string instead of timestamp. any help?

           firebase
          .firestore()
          .collection("articles")
          .add({
            url: url,
            archive: archive.docId,
            article: articleState,
            published: firebase.firestore.Timestamp.fromDate(date);})

You don't need to do anything to a Date object in order for it to become a timestamp. The SDK will do that automatically.

        firebase
          .firestore()
          .collection("articles")
          .add({
            url: url,
            archive: archive.docId,
            article: articleState,
            published: date
          })

It has to be an actual Date object for this to work. For example:

let date = new Date()

If you're having problems creating a Date object (we can't see what you're doing), that sounds like a different problem entirely.
