What is the correct syntax for saving a GeoPoint in Baqend? - baqend

Question

What is the correct syntax for saving latitude and longitude in Baqend?
I am successfully saving the normal fields (all of them are strings):
handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var newcompany = new db.Companies({
name: this.state.name,
photo: '',
geo: '47.626814;-122.357345',
address1: this.state.address1,
address2: this.state.address2,
city: this.state.city,
state: this.state.state,
zip: this.state.zip,
});
newcompany.insert().then(() => {
//console.log(newcompany)
this.setState({
redirect: true,
newcompanykey: newcompany.key
})
})
}
But I can't seem to get the geo to save correctly. Probably because I'm treating it as a string and that is not correct?
In the example code I'm just hardcoding it now to values I know are good so we can get this working.

I think the answer here is that the sdk provides a function that encodes it correctly:
handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var geo = new db.GeoPoint(47.626814, -122.357345)
var newcompany = new db.Companies({
name: this.state.name,
photo: '',
geo: geo,
address1: this.state.address1,
address2: this.state.address2,
city: this.state.city,
state: this.state.state,
zip: this.state.zip,
});
newcompany.insert().then(() => {
//console.log(newcompany)
this.setState({
redirect: true,
newcompanykey: newcompany.key
})
})
}
