  • Am I thinking about geolocation/DB storage correctly?
    1 project | /r/reactnative | 19 Jun 2023
    Hey all, I'm currently using Expo's location plugin. This gives the user's latitude and longitude, which I'm storing in a Firebase Firestore document. I want to have a functionality where a user can select a distance radius (say, nearest kilometer, nearest 10 KM, and a global option which shows all) compared to the user's current location and show all available data within it. There's a library called geolib which can calculate the metered distance between two points. This is great, however I'm having trouble trying to think about how to query for these objects. I don't want to query ALL the documents and then filter down the documents based on their location on the FE, which means I'd probably need to query the backend for this specific data. This is where I'm running into some trouble. I'd basically have to have a firebase compound filter where I'm calculating the distance between the user's current location and +10 miles on the FE. Can somebody shed some light on this approach? I'm thinking: 1. Get users point 2. Calculate an arbitrary point that is essentially 10km away from users point (mathmatically?) 3. Query Firebase Firestore backend for results within that latitude/longitude. It just seems really complicated, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

    Thanks for trying it out!

    The frontend is built with Svelte. This was my first time using the framework and I found their website super helpful: https://svelte.dev/docs

    Used Mapbox API and geolib (https://github.com/manuelbieh/geolib/) for building routes and for other geospatial tasks.

    "Talkie" was built with simple-peer (https://github.com/feross/simple-peer) and WebRTC. Great tutorial can be found on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/WebRT...

    On the backend I use Vercel's serverless functions which are mostly acting as trivial proxies for various open API's.

    Feel free to email me if you need more info.

  • Recommendation for geo TS library for FE for geo calculation like calculating distance between two latitude/longitude in meters/km for frontend etc?

    Is it https://github.com/manuelbieh/geolib? Asking just so that I don't endup in wrong place? Also how does it compare with https://github.com/Turfjs/turf (incase you know) as turf.js has more stars, has more recent commits compared to geolib? Let me know what do you think
