GeoFire query on User location

Question

I\'m quite new to work with Firebase and its location library, GeoFire. Currently I\'m facing some problem when structuring my data.

At the moment my db is something

Answer 1

For GeoFire you must keep a segment in the tree that contains just the geolocation and then you have another segment in the tree that contains the other information about the items.

user_locations
  uid1:
    g: xxxx
    l:
      0: xxx
      1: xxx
  uid2:
    g: xxxx
    l:
      0: xxx
      1: xxx
user_profiles:
  uid1:
    name: "giacavicchioli"
  uid2:
    name: "Frank van Puffelen"
