Invalid GeoFire key 'St.Louis': key cannot contain any of the following characters: . # $ ] [ / #67

Hi,

Firestore allows the period as a document title. Is there a particular reason why this isn't allowed?

Any way I can change it? (tried to search validateKey but couldn't find the method in the repo)

So the reason for this is because the set function of geofirestore (v2.x.x) uses the batch function which has some constraints. This wont be changed/fixed in v2, but is addressed in v3 as you can do something like...

const geofirestore = new GeoFirestore(firebase.firestore());
const geocollection = geofirestore.collection('test');
const doc = geocollection.doc('St.Louis');
doc.set({
    coordinates: new firebase.firestore.GeoPoint(0, 0);
});
