Hi office;

1- Use this Code Snippet -

local JSON = require("App42-Lua-API.JSON") 

local dbName  = "<Your_DataBase_Name>"  

local collectionName = "<Your_Collection_Name>"  

local json = "{\"name\":\"Nick\",\"age\":30,\"phone\":\"xxx-xxx-xxx\"}"  

local gp = require("App42-Lua-API.GeoTag")  

gp:setLat(-73.70000);

gp:setLng(-40);

storageService:setGeoTag(gp);

storageService:insertJSONDocument(dbName, collectionName,json,callBack);

function callBack:onSuccess(object)

print("Response is :"..object:getStrResponse());

print("Response is :"..JSON:encode(object));

print("Dbname is "..object:getDbName());  

print("Collection Name is "..object:getCollectionName());  

print("getDocId is "..object:getJsonDocList():getDocId())

print("getCreatedAt  is "..object:getJsonDocList():getCreatedAt());  

print("getUpdatedAt is "..object:getJsonDocList():getUpdatedAt());  

print("Doclist Name is "..JSON:encode(object:getJsonDocList():getJsonDoc()));  

print("lat is "..JSON:encode(object:getJsonDocList():getLocation():getLat())); 

print("lng is "..JSON:encode(object:getJsonDocList():getLocation():getLng()));

end  

function callBack:onException(object)

print("Message is "..object:getAppErrorCode()); 

print("Message is "..object:getHttpErrorCode()); 

print("Message is "..object:getMessage()); 

print("Message is "..object:getDetails()); 

end

Perfect, thanks. And how do I use a GeoQuery to find JSON documents by their geo location?
