Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

When refreshing on the workspace tags page, the left page shows LHN while the central page shows the workspace tags page.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we refresh the page, it will call getAdaptedState and see what navigator is inside the nav stack. In our case, we have a central pane (workspace tags page).

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 253 to 254 in ffa731a

	const matchingBottomTabRoute = getMatchingBottomTabRouteForState(state);
	routes.push(createBottomTabNavigator(matchingBottomTabRoute, policyID));

It will try to find the matching bottom tab navigator with the current central pane.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getMatchingBottomTabRouteForState.ts

Lines 16 to 20 in ffa731a

	const tabName = CENTRAL_PANE_TO_TAB_MAPPING[topmostCentralPaneRoute.name];
	if (tabName === SCREENS.WORKSPACE.INITIAL) {
	return {name: tabName, params: topmostCentralPaneRoute.params};
	}
	return {name: tabName, params: paramsWithPolicyID};

However, we don't have a mapping for the workspace tags page and the bottom tab navigator page.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/TAB_TO_CENTRAL_PANE_MAPPING.ts

Lines 4 to 18 in ffa731a

	const TAB_TO_CENTRAL_PANE_MAPPING: Record<BottomTabName, CentralPaneName[]> = {
	[SCREENS.HOME]: [SCREENS.REPORT],
	[SCREENS.ALL_SETTINGS]: [SCREENS.SETTINGS.WORKSPACES],
	[SCREENS.WORKSPACE.INITIAL]: [
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.PROFILE,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.CARD,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.WORKFLOWS,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.REIMBURSE,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.BILLS,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.INVOICES,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.TRAVEL,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.MEMBERS,
	SCREENS.WORKSPACE.CATEGORIES,
	],
	};

So, it will default to HOME, that is the LHN.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 52 to 63 in ffa731a

	function createBottomTabNavigator(route: NavigationPartialRoute<BottomTabName>, policyID?: string): NavigationPartialRoute<typeof NAVIGATORS.BOTTOM_TAB_NAVIGATOR> {
	const routesForBottomTabNavigator: Array<NavigationPartialRoute<BottomTabName>> = [{name: SCREENS.HOME, params: {policyID}}];
	if (route.name !== SCREENS.HOME) {
	// If the generated state requires tab other than HOME, we need to insert it.
	routesForBottomTabNavigator.push(addPolicyIDToRoute(route, policyID) as NavigationPartialRoute<BottomTabName>);
	}
	return {
	name: NAVIGATORS.BOTTOM_TAB_NAVIGATOR,
	state: getRoutesWithIndex(routesForBottomTabNavigator),
	};

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add the mapping for workspace tags page.

[SCREENS.WORKSPACE.INITIAL]: [
    ...
    SCREENS.WORKSPACE.TAGS,
],

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Or we can dynamically build the mapping.

const buildWorkspaceMapping = () => {
    return Object.keys(config['screens'][NAVIGATORS.CENTRAL_PANE_NAVIGATOR]['screens']).filter(screen => screen.startsWith('Workspace_'))
}

@waterim since this came from the Tags PR. Let's fix this as part of the next settings PR.
