Proposal

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

IOU skeleton changes the currency to default $

What is the root cause of that problem?

When the money request is deleted all of its data is removed, when trying to find it in Onyx we will get an empty object

        transaction: {
            key: ({action}) => `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.TRANSACTION}${(action && action.originalMessage && action.originalMessage.IOUTransactionID) || 0}`,
        },

And the to display the currency in the skeleton we use

return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(TransactionUtils.getAmount(props.transaction), props.transaction.currency);
And this in turn will not find the original currency of the request. which fallbacks to $

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

We luckily still have the currency in the original message of the action that we can use a fall back when the transaction is no longer there.

We can update the getdisplayAmountText function to use the fallback for this situation as such

return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(TransactionUtils.getAmount(props.transaction), props.transaction.currency || (props.action && props.action.originalMessage && props.action.originalMessage.currency));

Extra findings

As you can see the same issue would happen to the distance request display, we can refactor that part of the function too to use the fallback

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview.js

Lines 213 to 223 in 389d7b0

	const getDisplayAmountText = () => {
	if (isDistanceRequest) {
	return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(TransactionUtils.getAmount(props.transaction), props.transaction.currency);
	}
	if (isScanning) {
	return props.translate('iou.receiptScanning');
	}
	return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(requestAmount, requestCurrency);
	};

Proposal

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

When deleting a money request offline, the IOU skeleton changes Default value($0.00)

What is the root cause of that problem?

After deleting the request in offline mode, we delete IOUTransactionID which we use to get transaction info

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview.js

Line 377 in 389d7b0

key: ({action}) => `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.TRANSACTION}${(action && action.originalMessage && action.originalMessage.IOUTransactionID) || 0}`,

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

I think that we can create a special variable that will allow us to obtain information about the status of the request

For this we can use pendingAction from action

const isDeleted = lodashGet(props.action, 'pendingAction', null) === CONST.RED_BRICK_ROAD_PENDING_ACTION.DELETE;

And when isDeleted will true we will call getDisplayDeleteAmountText() instead getDisplayAmountText()

{isDeleted ? getDisplayDeleteAmountText() : getDisplayAmountText()}

App/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview.js

Line 285 in 389d7b0

{getDisplayAmountText()}

    const getDisplayDeleteAmountText = () => {
        const {amount, currency} = ReportUtils.getTransactionDetails(props.action.originalMessage);

        if (isDistanceRequest) {
            return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(TransactionUtils.getAmount(props.action.originalMessage), currency);
        }

        if (isScanning) {
            return props.translate('iou.receiptScanning');
        }

        return CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(amount, currency);
    };

And if we need cross-out text
We can add isDeleted && {textDecorationLine: 'line-through'} for text

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

If we need to zero amount and transmit currency
we can update the getDisplayDeleteAmountText :

CurrencyUtils.convertToDisplayString(0, currency);

And delete line-through

Proposal
Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.
On confirming the delete request money item could not be deleted and is set to $0 when the app is offline

What is the root cause of that problem?
On delete confirmation the app calls the POST endpoint http://localhost:8082/api?command=DeleteMoneyRequest, and when the app is online it works fine but when offline the POST request is not made due to which the output is different as the code logic is same for offline and online delete request

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?
We need to handle the offline and online calls differently. We can delete the request from the state when the app is offline so that it doesn't show on the list of money requests. Right now the same confirmDeleteAndHideModal function is called in both online and offline state of the app.

Extra findings
The DeleteMoneyRequest API is called when the app is back online and the request is being removed from the list but it stays there until the app is offline
