Inserting a momentjs object in Meteor Collection

Question

I have a simple Meteor collection and I am trying to insert a document that has a momentjs property into it. So I do:

docId = Col.insert({m: moment()});

If you would like to have moment objects on find and findOne, save it as a date then transform it on finding it. For example:

Posts = new Mongo.Collection('posts', {
  transform: function (doc) {
    Object.keys(doc).forEach(field => {
      if (doc[field] instanceof Date) {
        doc[field] = moment(doc[field]);
      }
    });
    return doc;
  }
});

Posts.insert({
  title: 'Hello',
  createdAt: new Date()
});
