How to get/read a GeoFirePoint from a DocumentSnapshot about geoflutterfire HOT 5 OPEN

Any update on this ? There should be helper method fromJSON which should parse MAP type

Having the same issue. Is there a fix planned ?

So this is what I figured out I needed to do...

final GeoFirePoint point = GeoFirePoint(
        doc["geoLocation"]["geopoint"].latitude,
        doc["geoLocation"]["geopoint"].longitude);

This seems to work, but I'd prefer to see GeoFirePoint treated like an opaque type, similar to GeoPoint.

A constructor for GeoFirePoint based on a GeoPoint value would be better, then it could be:

final GeoFirePoint point = GeoFirePoint.fromGeoPoint(doc["geoLocation"]["geopoint"]);

However, this is still not ideal because it expects the user to understand how GeoFirePoint is stored.

I added some Dart Extension Methods in the meantime.

@awhitford looks like this is a breaking change.

This no longer works

    Position position = await Geolocator()
        .getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);

    GeoFirePoint point = geo.point( position.latitude,  position.longitude);

instead you need to provide keys

    Position position = await Geolocator()
        .getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);

    GeoFirePoint point = geo.point(latitude: position.latitude, longitude: position.longitude);
