geofire

Has anyone tried storing and/or searching on geocodes (e.g. lat/long) in Firebase? This is functionality that is built into MongoDB and as I'm considering using Firebase for our backend instead, I need to know how I'd handle this scenario in Firebase. Thanks! The folks at Firebase recently open-sourced a library that allows you to store and query location data in Firebase. In short, this is very easily accomplished because all keys in Firebase are strings, and Firebase has support for startAt() and endAt() queries that allow you to do the appropriate windowing for geohashes and bounding boxes.

I want to query users which I have stored in a collection named "Users". Each user has fields such as age and weight. Is there a way I can query the users by distance from the user running the search with GeoFire and combine it with FireStore search queries? For instance, I am a user who is looking for someone who is in a 20 mile radius but also wants to find someone who is between 2 years younger or older than them. The Firestore database can filter on multiple fields, but it can only do a range filter on one of those fields. So this query is possible: collection.where("age", ">", 18).where(

Currently, I'm using parts of the GeoFirebase library along with Firestore to allow for geoquerying. When I set the geohash of a post, I do it as such if let geoHash = GFGeoHash(location: location.coordinate).geoHashValue { However, to make the geohash querying less specific, I'm planning on truncating part of the geohash when I query; currently, the query looks similar to this var geoQuerySpecific = GFGeoHashQuery() let geoQueryHash = GFGeoHashQuery.queries(forLocation: (lastLocation?.coordinate)!, radius: (30)) as! Set<GFGeoHashQuery> for query in geoQueryHash { geoQuerySpecific = query

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 like this: users facebook:xxxxx displayName: xx firstName: xx lastName: xx location: g: xxxx l: 0: xxx 1: xxx facebook:yyyyy displayName: yy firstName: yy lastName: yy location: g: yyyy l: 0: yyy 1: yyy I would like to query on users that are near my current user logged in. To do so I can't understand what path I have to specify. At the moment I'm doing like this (but that doesn't work): saving current location let root = Firebase
