I'm having trouble getting my iOS simulator to work, but otherwise everything should be ready for review.

Reviewer Checklist

I have verified the author checklist is complete (all boxes are checked off).
I verified the correct issue is linked in the ### Fixed Issues section above
I verified testing steps are clear and they cover the changes made in this PR
- I verified the steps for local testing are in the Tests section
- I verified the steps for Staging and/or Production testing are in the QA steps section
- I verified the steps cover any possible 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 checked that screenshots or videos are included for tests on all platforms
I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
I verified tests pass on all platforms & I tested again on:
- Android / native
- Android / Chrome
- iOS / native
- iOS / Safari
- MacOS / Chrome / Safari
- MacOS / Desktop
If there are any errors in the console that are unrelated to this PR, I either fixed them (preferred) or linked to where I reported them in Slack
I verified proper code patterns were followed (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
- 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 correct English and approved by marketing by adding the Waiting for Copy label for a copy review on the original GH to get the correct copy.
- 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 verified that this PR follows the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
I verified other components that can be impacted by these changes have been tested, and I retested again (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar have been tested & I retested again)
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.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
If a new component is created I verified that:
- A similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
- All props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
- The file is named correctly
- The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
- The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
- For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
- Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
- All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
- The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
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(themeColors.componentBG)
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 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 have checked off every checkbox in the PR reviewer checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

Input 0 only on the first name, and submitting the form will reset the user display name to the email, but the first name in personalDetails remains 0. No error was returned from the API. I guess the user should be expected to have the first name 0 displayed if we allow it.

Nice catch @mollfpr. I'll look into it.

neil-marcellini · 2023-02-07T18:50:45Z

I'm going to bow out of this PR review for #focus.

mollfpr

Looks good to me and test well on the RequestCallPage, LegalNamePage, and DisplayNamePage 👍

Here's the checklist!

puneetlath · 2023-02-09T17:36:36Z

Thank you @mollfpr!

@youssef-lr could you also give this a review please?

neil-marcellini · 2023-02-13T18:22:36Z

I can take a look today.

neil-marcellini

Looking pretty great overall. I like how you have simplified this a lot. There's a few small changes I would like to see. Also I think it would be good to include tests for each page that was modified here, just in case.

neil-marcellini · 2023-02-13T20:41:41Z

+        if (doesFirstNameHaveInvalidCharacters) {
+            errors.firstName = this.props.translate('personalDetails.error.hasInvalidCharacter');
+        } else if (ValidationUtils.doesContainReservedWord(values.firstName, CONST.DISPLAY_NAME.RESERVED_FIRST_NAMES)) {
+            errors.firstName = this.props.translate('personalDetails.error.containsReservedWord');


:issue We should display multiple error messages at the same time if multiple validations fail, as we state in the form guidelines. For example, if I set my first name to Concierge; I should see First name cannot contain the words Expensify or Concierge. Name cannot contain a comma or semicolon..

suggestion: We can easily join the error messages together.

suggestion: We can easily join the error messages together.

I'm not sure we do this in any of our other forms?

Agreed, could you give an example of a form that does this? Because that would require copy variations and conditions for each combination of errors. Or I guess appending the error to errors.firstName instead of replacing it.

I don't think we currently do this in any of our forms. I'll ask in Slack if we want to do this. If not then I'm happy with what we have and we should update the form guidelines.

Here's the Slack discussion.

I'll make this a NAB comment. If we decide to make the change I'll create a refactor issue.

Alright sounds good. I'm going to go ahead and merge then. Thanks for starting the slack discussion @neil-marcellini.

youssef-lr · 2023-02-14T09:49:03Z

Looks good to me and tested well! Just a question @puneetlath, Keeping the first name empty and last name as 'Concierge' will still result in a display name that says 'Concierge'. Is this fine?

mollfpr · 2023-02-14T10:57:57Z

@youssef-lr Yup, we already addressed that here.

Hey everyone, following the BugZero checklist for #15741 here.

We implemented the same validation rules for both the "Display name" and the "Legal Name" in this P.R. but I think the latter has different more strict rules (that don't allow special characters for example).

Because of that, newDot allowed some special characters in the "Legal Name" fields but after saving it the API was stripping them away in the Onyx response.

+        // Then we validate the last name field
+        if (!ValidationUtils.isValidDisplayName(values.lastName)) {
+            errors.lastName = this.props.translate('personalDetails.error.hasInvalidCharacter');
+        }


We missed out a case here, we shouldn't had allowed the user to submit empty first name, this caused #44167.

Though i agree this is not actually a bug from this PR, but rather a missed logic.

Thanks for pointing it out!
