Extract latitude and longitude from Firebase GeoPoint - firebase

Question

Working in Flutter I can access sections of my database like so:
Streambuilder(
stream: Firestore.instance.collection('stores').snapshots(),
builder: (context, snapshot) {
if (!snapshot.hasData) return CircularProgressIndicator();
return ListView.builder(
itemExtent: 60,
itemCount: snapshot.data.documents.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index) =>
_buildListRows(context, snapshot.data.documents[index]),
);
}
),
And then the _buildListRows widget:
Widget _buildListRows(BuildContext context, DocumentSnapshot document) {
geoPoint = document.reference.firestore.
return Container(
height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.7,
child: ListView(
children: <Widget>[
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Text(
'Business Name',
style: Theme
.of(context)
.textTheme
.headline,
),
),
Container(
decoration: const BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.teal,
),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
child: Text(
document['store_name'],
style: Theme
.of(context)
.textTheme
.display1,
),
),
],
),
Row(
children: <Widget>[
Expanded(
child: Text(
'Location',
style: Theme
.of(context)
.textTheme
.headline,
),
),
Container(
decoration: const BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.teal,
),
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(10),
child: Text(
document['location'].toString(),
style: Theme
.of(context)
.textTheme
.display1,
),
),
],
),
],
),
);
}
I am just getting started on this so looking at the best way to retrieve data on demand from the database and displaying it in the app. I just can't find anywhere that explains how to extract the longitude and latitude from the GeoPoint reference returned by: document['location'].toString(),
What I get from this output is:
Instance of 'GeoPoint'
Also, am I doing this right? Is this the best way to extract specific data from the database? It feels like I am doing this very inefficiently, but can't find another way to do this.

Answer 1

To access the longitude and latitude, then do the following:
child: Text(
document['location'].latitude.toString(),
style: Theme
.of(context)
.textTheme
.display1,
),
Since document['location'] returns an instance of GeoPoint, then just call the property latitude to get the value.
