Explanation of Change

cc @mountiny

This PR essentially replaces all of our current comparison checks that looks for the 'hidden' notificationPreference and moves them to use a util method instead. This is because when we stop setting certain reports with 'hidden' by default they will instead not have any notificationPreference at all and we will take that to mean that they are "hidden".

This probably touches a lot of stuff so, I'm not entirely sure if some things will break badly or not or what we should test here. Open to ideas.

The idea behind the util is that we can come back later and remove 'hidden' from all the places where we are setting it optimistically and then kind of deprecated 'hidden' completely. But not sure if it's something we need to do as the first step.

Once this is merged we can do the same in the backend and also fix all places where we are setting reports to 'hidden' by default.

If there are any edge cases - e.g. things that should be shown but for some reason do not have a notificationPreference at all when initialized this PR will reveal it and we can think more about what to do.

Fixed Issues (First part)

https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/450891

Tests

  • This touches a lot of the app so it's difficult to give exact QA steps.

  • Generally speaking, we need to test the app for any regressions around LHN reports that are expected to be visible, but might no longer be appearing unexpectedly.

  • QA should keep this in mind while testing.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

QA Steps

Same as "Tests"

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
    • MacOS: Desktop
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

@mountiny so far, I am testing various things in the App, but doesn't seem like there are any major inconsistencies caused by theses changes. I think most reports have a default notificationPreference though so that's kind of what I would expect.

I feel like this is a misnomer, to me it looks like this function would be about a participant being hidden, and not that they have a "hidden" notification preference. Wdyt?

Good point, I think that isReportHidden or isHiddenForCurrentUser or something like that might be clearer

I can see that. I think the confusion is that having this notification preference actually means both:

  • hidden from other participants
  • hidden from the LHN

🤷‍♂️

isReportHidden seems too broad since it's not the report but the participant that is actually "hidden".

currentUserHasHiddenNotificationPreference() would be the most explicit maybe.

Gonna go with isHiddenForCurrentUser() though I think it's fine.

I think hasHiddenNotificationPreference would work as well? we can deduce who by finding out whose preferences we're passing to the function. If it's always applied to the current user, I think we can just say so in the function docs.

I think we can avoid overloading here because the number of params for the function and the return type are same. reportOrPreference also looks clear enough IMO.

If the default should be hidden, can we simply check if the notification preference is not one of mute, daily, or always, and return true for isHiddenForCurrentUser?

I think that would also work. Seems like a different way of doing the same thing to me. However, if we add a new notification preference down the line it would be hidden by default until the App starts to support it. Trying to think of some advantage... good thought though.

c3024 commented Dec 18, 2024

If we create a new preference, I guess we will use it on the frontend as well and update it in CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE. We can extract preferences from this object instead of hardcoding them.

const { HIDDEN, ...filteredNotificationPreference } = originalNotificationPreference;

@mountiny / @youssef-lr / @c3024 Do you know why this is always defaulting to CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN instead of getDefaultNotificationPreferenceForReport(report)?

Sorry for asking you directly, but @marcaaron is ooo and you reviewed this.

I'm asking because:

  • For the moment, if you comment in an #announce room, we push the notificationPreference of all participants to everyone in the report. This means potentially pushing thousands of participants with notificationPreference = always
  • notificationPreference = always is the default for #announce rooms (and maybe other rooms)
  • I would like to stop pushing those default preferences because they cause OOM in the php layer, and for me it would make sense the frontend (App) to assume that if the notificationPreference of a participant is missing, it means that the value for it should be the default (getDefaultNotificationPreferenceForReport) and not 'hidden'.

Does this make sense to you?
