Support of geofire

[kwachta]

Hi,

does the react-native-firebase work with geofire-js? I am moving whole project from firebase to react-native-firebase and so far I didn't have any issues.
The only issue is the geofire-js. I cannot make it to work. Even simple writing of new key-value pair to the DB does not work.

I'm using built native app (Expo). All other firebase functions works well.

I've seen an issue posted some time ago but unfortunately this workaround does not work for me.

Code:

import database from '@react-native-firebase/database';
import {GeoFire} from 'geofire';

export const addLocationToFirebase = async (id: string, coords: [number, number]) => {
  const rtdb = database();
  const geoFireRef = rtdb.ref(`Geodata`) as any;
  // geoFireRef.key = null;

  const geoFireInstance = new GeoFire(geoFireRef);
  await geoFireInstance.set(id, coords);
};

Result:

WARN  Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 5):
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'e.pieceNum_')

Code (using the fix from the issue):

import database from '@react-native-firebase/database';
import {GeoFire} from 'geofire';

export const addLocationToFirebase = async (id: string, coords: [number, number]) => {
  const rtdb = database();
  const geoFireRef = rtdb.ref(`Geodata`) as any;
  geoFireRef.key = null; //previously working fix

  const geoFireInstance = new GeoFire(geoFireRef);
  await geoFireInstance.set(id, coords);
};

Result:

WARN  Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 6):
TypeError: Attempted to assign to readonly property.
