Firestore Geoquery

[carrillocarlosce]

You just made my day, I've been waiting for this for a long time, I had to use a workaround in my app with firebase realtime database in order to make this feature work, now I can rewrite that code and keep working only with firestore, again thanks for making our developer life easier, keep sharing your knoledge <3

Compatible with both flat earth and round earth theories lol hahah

Amazing, thanks Jeff!! I've recently been working on a location based app and I've decided to go the easy route and differentiate users by city, but the app might just get a level up, thanks to this video.

Great work. Absolutely brilliant I gotta say. I almost made the simular stuff for my last project, but had to give up (not by geo queries though, but filtering) But still it's not as powerful as MongoDB. I mean with firebase it always looks like you fighting against the system limitations rather then developing. You'd probably either very dedicated person or have a nerve for it. Good job anyway. Appreciate it a lot.

Hey there! I'm trying to implement something exactly like this in my Flutter app, where I want to create a kind of density hotspot/heatmap wherever there are multiple users in a certain area. Do you have any solutions? Google Maps Flutter package currently does not support displaying heatmaps, so I'm kind of stuck.

wow!!! you just made me replace my entire ng5 project with ths lol thanks jeff you the best

[EwaldDieser]

Fantastic! Exactly what I need to implement right now.

Thanks for this great info amd tutorial, Sorry, a noob question, is this geoquery api can be used in ios or android app as long as it is using firebase as backend ? Thanks

How to link the radius with the zoom? I want to display everything that is currently visible in the map? The goal being that the user isn't aware that I don't show everything? Also, how would you do to not only react on a radius change but also on Latitude/Longitude change? Since you can pipe only on one of the 3 elements?

i am getting this error - Property 'collection' does not exist on type 'GeoFireClient'

[ChrisEsplin]

Rad! I hadn't heard of geohashes before. I've never had a use case for them... so I don't feel too bad about it. But now I need to find a good reason to spend a few days building some maps :)

Cool!! Was busting my head trying to figure this out. Thanks for the solution. We are pro members as well.

Awesome tutorial Jeff. I have a question, although not totally related to Geo problems: I see you have to initialize AGM with Google Maps API key. What about security? Hard coding the API key directly in the spa makes it visible to whoever wants to look for it. Is there another pattern I can use? Eventually storing the API key in Firestore itself (despite rules shouldn't prevent any user to read the data, thus same problem). Storing in firebase functions config and return on Https trigger? What else to ensure security of the API key? Many thanks!

Great Tutorial, by the way, what program did you use for video editing? The intro was too sick I had to watch it twice lol

[lnboa]

nice video, , As a pro member I adore your tutorials, , for Geo Search I wanted to user Algolia Geo Search, , what do you think about that??? since I am heavily using algolia with my firebase web app.. do u recommend your library over Algolia GEO Search??
Regards

[SolomonKahsai]

well well well, you are simply perfect !!!!

[johnrivelt]

Thank you for this video, you have excellent presentation skill. Does it filter points from client side or server side ? As I need to deal with thousands points on mobile device, I am wondering performance.

Will I also be able to use the GeoFireX library with native IOS(Swift) and android(Kotlin) apps?

[will_abule]

😱Oh! Awesome! I've been waiting for this for a long time. Can I do things like layout, routing, symbology plus you got my star 🌟 all ready thanks. I'll have to go through the your docs to see how far I can actually use this. I ❤️ you and your content.
