Error on Post request with GeoPoint property

[thomaslecoeur]

Hi! Thanks for that good connector.

There's an issue on posting an instance of a model that contains a GeoPoint property. Example:

{
  "name": "string",
  "capacity": 0,
  "description": "string",
  "location": {
    "lat": 0,
    "lng": 0
  }
}

Posting this exact data parameter on the Post request results in this 500 code error:

{
  "error": {
    "statusCode": 500,
    "name": "Error",
    "message": "Cannot encode type ([object Object]) to a Firestore Value",
    "stack": "Error: Cannot encode type ([object Object]) to a Firestore Value\n    at Function.encodeValue (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/document.js:672:11)\n    at Function.encodeFields (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/document.js:544:36)\n    at WriteBatch.set (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/write-batch.js:257:35)\n    at DocumentReference.set (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/reference.js:416:8)\n    at CollectionReference.add (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/@google-cloud/firestore/src/reference.js:1830:24)\n    at Firestore.create (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-connector-firestore/lib/firestore.js:61:29)\n    at invokeConnectorMethod (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/dao.js:169:21)\n    at /Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/dao.js:472:11\n    at doNotify (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:155:49)\n    at doNotify (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:155:49)\n    at doNotify (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:155:49)\n    at doNotify (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:155:49)\n    at Function.ObserverMixin._notifyBaseObservers (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:178:5)\n    at Function.ObserverMixin.notifyObserversOf (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:153:8)\n    at Function.ObserverMixin._notifyBaseObservers (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:176:15)\n    at Function.ObserverMixin.notifyObserversOf (/Users/thomaslecoeur/Projets/Pijam/pijam-proto-api/node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/observer.js:153:8)"
  }
}

Another error by changing latto latitude and lng to longitude in the data parameter:

There is studio.json:

{
  "name": "Studio",
  "plural": "Studios",
  "base": "PersistedModel",
  "idInjection": true,
  "options": {
    "validateUpsert": true
  },
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    "capacity": {
      "type": "number"
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "location": {
      "type": "geopoint"
    }
  },
  "validations": [],
  "acls": [],
  "methods": {}
}

It's a really basic model... Nothing special to tell about it.
