Adding additional children when setting in GeoFire Firebase?

Something like:

I had the same problem, didn't want to solve this with a workaround, especially by introducing the delay so kept digging and found this: https://github.com/firebase/geofire-js/issues/40

This basically means we need to restructure the application, where one collection is dedicated to the GeoFire information, another uses the same key to store attached information. Example from the GitHub.

{
   geofire: {
      "-J9aZZl94Sx6h": { "g": <geohash>, "l": {} }
      "-Jhacf97x4S3h": { "g": <geohash>, "l": {} },
      ...
   },
   "locations": {
      "-J9aZZl94Sx6h": { <location-data> },
      "-Jhacf97x4S3h": { <location-data> }
   }
}
