[Better Expense Reports] Add MoneyRequestReportView by Kicu · Pull Request #58360 · Expensify/App

Kicu · 2025-03-13T10:40:24Z

This PR adds new view called MoneyRequestReportView which will display a grouped list of report transactions at top and chat items below.

It implements parts of: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12RD9MO-CXFwcehkqLdWvx0__mK8Ou_0cMBYG5BVNULc/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.vbs1mmt4xhw4

Explanation of Change

Introduces cleaned up MoneyRequestReportView, which displays list of transactions and chat items
- transaction list consists of all transactions filtered by reportID
- the chat list uses the same rendering logic as normal ReportScreen but we filter out CREATED and IOU actions because CREATED is not relevant to this view and IOU is the transaction list ☝️
reuses a lot of logic from: ReportScreen, ReportActionsView and ReportActionsList
currently new view is only displayed in Search context (Search LHN)
uses tableReportView beta to redirect Search report items to the new view - without this beta the user cannot access new screen
abstracts away SearchTableHeader into component called SortableTableHeader to use the same header both in Search table and MoneyRequestReport table

NOTE: this PR is already quite big so I wanted to divide it into smaller parts to allow for reasonable review.

These don't yet work and will be done in separated PR

rest of report actions list functionalities like divider line etc.
sorting transaction list (at the top of screen)
chat message count on transaction row

Fixed Issues

$ #57508
PROPOSAL:

Tests

Important: in order to test change function canUseTableReportView to return true, or have BETA tableReportView set

open Search, go to Expense Reports
click on any report
verify you see the new view, and not report in RHP
verify that transactions are visible, note in this view the user always starts at the top of chat messages
verify that composer works
verify that report actions are correctly displayed
Please note that there are parts of this not done yet, described above in the description

Offline tests

QA Steps

Same as Tests

src/pages/home/report/ReportActionsView.tsx

    const {isOffline} = useNetwork();

    const {shouldUseNarrowLayout} = useResponsiveLayout();
-    const contentListHeight = useRef(0);


Please note this is a cleanup.
I have noticed that this ref was not used anywhere. It was updated in onContentSizeChange and never used after that nor passed down.

Kinda feel like ideally we would do that in a separate PR in case there is any regression with the hook

Do you want the @Expensify/design to do a thorough review of this or not yet?

@DylanDylann let's prioritize reviewing this PR when you're online

luacmartins · 2025-03-17T18:52:55Z

Do you want the @Expensify/design to do a thorough review of this or not yet?

@shawnborton I think we can save design review for later when we have more of the functionality in place.

Left a few comments. Additionally, found some minor issues:

Table header is not aligned with table data
Date from previous year is cut off
Incorrect cursor shown on hover

Screen.Recording.2025-03-17.at.1.26.44.PM.mov

Screen.Recording.2025-03-17.at.1.27.08.PM.mov

Violations don't have padding on small screens
Items without violations have bigger height than needed

src/components/SelectionList/SearchTableHeader.tsx

-    shouldShow: (data: OnyxTypes.SearchResults['data'], metadata: OnyxTypes.SearchResults['search']) => boolean;
+};
+
+const shouldShowColumnConfig: Record<SearchColumnType, ShouldShowSearchColumnFn> = {


Why did we move this out of SearchColumnConfig?

Same question?

Short answer: code decoupling + TS types

In search table some of shouldShow functions needed extra search data to make the decision whether to display a column. These function had signatures like this:

(data: OnyxTypes.SearchResults['data'], metadata: OnyxTypes.SearchResults['search']) => boolean

I needed to create a clean reusable SortableTableHeader component. Inside this component I need a shouldShow function, but I don't want to make its arguments depend on search data/metadata. It would be hard to use it for ReportsView then.
Because of that, inside SearchTableHeader I had to split types that are connected to search data (shouldShow) from columnsConfig. That means columnsConfig is now only names of columns + translation keys - generic types.
I'm quite happy with this solution.
(If you remember @luacmartins we had similar problems with chat name generation, where it was tightly coupled to reports data in Onyx and hard to reuse in Search - I want to avoid that here)

+    const currentAction = reportActions.at(actionIndex);
+    const nextAction = findNextAction(reportActions, actionIndex);
+
+    // Todo first should have avatar - verify that this works with long chats


Same here, are we doing this in a follow up?

Suggested change

// Todo first should have avatar - verify that this works with long chats

// Todo first should have avatar - verify that this works with long chats

+1 lets link issues in which we would handle this in each TODO

let's combine these two, because both touch the same part of code - displaying avatars on grouped comments.
Since the existing solution is working specifically only on InvertedList I had to re-implement it for non-inverted lists.

Both TODO comments are leftovers after my change so they should be fixed together.

Thanks! going to merge this so @JakubKorytko and other PRs can base their changes from this more easily today but @luacmartins please feel free to review this PR still

trjExpensify · 2025-03-19T10:56:44Z

The LHN Expenses is still highlighted when in an individual report view. Is removing that on the follow-up list? (I seem to recall it mentioned somewhere else already).

Similarly, is the table footer with the Comments header and report Total amount slated for a follow-up? I see those missing as well. Ref:

I will also work on those. I'm adding comments to the original issue so that we don't forget about anything 👍

This loop stops at 1 (i > 0) and does not check the first report action. The condition should have been i >= 0.

Missed passing linkedReportActionID here for message highlighting when clicking header to go back to a linkedReportAction, leading to this issue:

Coming from #60747, missing <PortalHost name="suggestions" /> resulted in a broken suggestion list.

Missed a part of the unread marker implementation logic from ReportActionsList. This was fixed here. #62597

From #76352 (comment): we missed wrapping the component with OfflineWithFeedback. That wrapper is necessary when creating reports while offline.
