GeoPoint lat/lon wrong typings about nodejs-firestore HOT 11 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this, I will try to push a fix for this in the next release.

from nodejs-firestore.

@rodrigoreal How are you saving the GeoPoint? As a top-level entity or within an object? We currently only support GeoPoints within a different object.

from nodejs-firestore.

@schmidt-sebastian
I'm saving it as an object on my seller entity.

const seller: SellersInterface = {
  name: body.name,
  location: new firestore.GeoPoint(lat, lng)
};
admin.firestore().collection('sellers').add(seller);

export interface SellersInterface {
  id?: string;
  name: string;
  location: firestore.GeoPoint;
}

I'm doing something wrong?

from nodejs-firestore.

The Firestore SDK can only recognize types that are part of its own namespace. Since you are using Firestore through the Admin SDK, you need to save GeoPoints as follows:

admin.firestore().collection('sellers').add({
   location:new admin.firestore.GeoPoint(1.0, 1.0)
});

I'm going to close this issue for now. If the above doesn't help, please feel free to re-open.

Hi,
not able to save geo point. I am doing the same as you mentioned above but it does not help me.
Please have a look on my code.

const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const serviceAccount = require(process.env.FBASE_AUTH_FILE);
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: process.env.dbURL
});
let d = new Date();
let data = {
name: 'Amit',
location: new admin.firestore.GeoPoint(28.52038,77.28073),
created_at: d.getTime()
}
setDoc = db.collection('users').doc().set(data);
if (setDoc) {
console.log('User added');
}

// Error which I am receiving is as follows.
Error: Cannot encode type ([object Object]) to a Firestore Value

Where are you getting Firestore from ('db')? If I add the following, your code works:

const Firestore = admin.firestore;
const db = Firestore();

At the moment, you can't mix and match the instances returned from GCloud and the Firebase Admin SDK.

from nodejs-firestore.

@schmidt-sebastian
Thanks.. It work.

Yes, i was using the GCloud instance to save data in collection.
I am facing one more issue with firestore.
Can I fetch data from multiple collections using join? As we can do same in MySQL and MongoDB as well.

Your response will be much appreciable.

from nodejs-firestore.

We currently don't expose a join operation. If you know the keys of your data, you can use getAll() on the main Firestore class.

When I use a google cloud function written in typescript to retrieve a document containing Geopoint, I am hitting the same issue with the response containing _latitude and _longitude for geopoint.

const Firestore = admin.firestore;
const db = Firestore();
const snap = await db
      .collection("addresses")
      .doc(docId)
      .get();
const snapdata = snap.data();
console.log(snapdata);

from nodejs-firestore.

@surya-fleetrun-in, when I run this code, I see this logged:

{
  point: GeoPoint {
    _latitude: 44.04818119788449,
    _longitude: -109.7278059330043
  }
}

It looks like console.log(snapdata) is logging the private properties of the GeoPoint object.

However, the returned point object is an instance of the GeoPoint class, so you should be able to use the latitude and longitude getters.

console.log(snapdata['point'].latitude);
console.log(snapdata['point'].longitude);

I tested using [email protected].

Thanks @MarkDuckworth the postman response is also showing the private properties, which confused us a little, but the getter seems to work.
