# `AshNeo4j.Functions.StDistanceInMeters`
[🔗](https://github.com/diffo-dev/ash_neo4j/blob/v0.7.0/lib/functions/st_distance_in_meters.ex#L5)

Alias for `st_distance`. PostGIS distinguishes the two because PostGIS
`ST_Distance` returns degrees for geographic types unless cast; Neo4j's
`point.distance` is always meters for WGS-84, so the distinction is
cosmetic for us. This module exists for API parity with ash_geo so
consumer code reads identically across data layers.

    Place
    |> Ash.Query.filter(st_distance_in_meters(location, ^p) < 5_000)
    |> Ash.read!()

Same pushdown shape as `st_distance` — the comparison renders to
`point.distance(n.<prop>, $test) <op> $threshold`. `evaluate/1` delegates.
