Adding JavaScript code into angular template expression

Question

I have an angular template that displays the unix timestamp, which is a number type:

<span>{{timestamp}}</span>

That displays like:

<span>1391139098314</span>

Instead of the number though, I want a nice string to display:

<span>1/30/2014 7:32:37 PM</span>

I thought it would be as easy as changing the template to what you see below, but that doesn't work.

<span>{{ new Date(timestamp).toLocaleString() }}</span>

Can someone tell me what I need to do in my template instead of what is not working, shown directly above?

<span>{{ myFunctionOnTheScopeThatReturnsA(timestamp) }}</span> — calebboyd
