Access the firebaseUser 'created' timestamp from within javascript

Question

I'm wanting to read the 'Created' timestamp (that is available in the Authentication > USERS section of the Firebase console) directly from the firebaseUser object within the run function of my Angular app using AngularFire.

e.g

FirebaseAuth.$onAuthStateChanged(function(firebaseUser) {
    console.log(firebaseUser.created)
}

Is a timestamp present anywhere on the object? I'm trying to avoid invoking the database at this point.

Thanks for your help.

You can add creation date in your database when creating a new account:

Users
  useruid <-- from the console
     name: userx
     email: userx@gmail.com
     creationdate: 2018-02-10
  useruid
     name: usery
     email: usery@gmail.com 
     creationdate: 2018-03-01

Also check this:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User

Or retrieve it using metadata as stated here:

creationTime:

The date the user was created, formatted as a UTC string. For example, 'Fri, 22 Sep 2017 01:49:58 GMT'.

Or using the Admin SDK:

admin.auth().getUser(uid).then(function(userRecord) {
console.log("Creation time:", userRecord.metadata.creationTime);
});
