How to save GeoPoint in Firebase Cloud Firestore?

Question

in the database UI I can create a field with the type geopoint. After providing values, it looks something like this:

location: [1° N, 1° E] 

I'm trying to save this to the DB via client side SDK (web). Based on Twitter Feedback I tried GeoJSON, Coords Array and Coords Object:

location: [1, 2]; location: {     latitude: 1,     longitude: 2, }; location: {     "type": "Feature",     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [125.6, 10.1]     } } 

None of which resulted in the geopoint type in the database. They're just saved as Objects/Arrays.

How to save GeoPoint in Firebase Cloud Firestore via the Web SDK?

Answer 1

The Firestore SDKs include a GeoPoint class, so you would have to save locations like this:

{   location: new firebase.firestore.GeoPoint(latitude, longitude) } 

Answer 2

I struggled to find out the right import/require. This is what worked for me !!

const firebaseAdmin = require('firebase-admin'); //other code ....  //assigning value to myLocation attribute let newObject = {     otherAttribute:"otherAttributeValue",     myLocation: new firebaseAdmin.firestore.GeoPoint(latitude,longitude) }
