Git-point: Navigate to AuthProfileScreen for the Current User

[wndisra]

Current process

• I could find my own profile via Search menu navigation (for Users) and try to follow myself via triple dots menu "..." (at top right corner of the screen).
  

Suggestion

• How about we remove that menu if the profile that we searched for is our own profile?

What do you guys think? @housseindjirdeh @andrewda

[andrewda]

I think there's another issue for redirecting you to our AuthProfile if you're on your own user profile.

[wndisra]

Wait, I still don't get it. So, we just need to redirect to profile page if we click on our own user profile in the search list? Is that exactly what we need to do? @andrewda

[andrewda]

Any time the user clicks on their own profile from anywhere, it should send them to the AuthProfile page (the page that shows up when you click the profile icon in the bottom right).

[housseindjirdeh]

Yep thanks for this @wlisrausr.

So there are two screens, AuthProfileScreen and UserProfileScreen. The AuthProfileScreen shows additional information and a settings cog na instead of the three dots. We just need to conditionally make sure anytime the user tries to navigate to their own profile it takes them to AuthProfileScreen and not the other one.

Can't seem to find the other issue @andrewda. If it doesn't exist (or we closed it prematurely), happy to have that functionality worked out as part of this ticket :)

[andrewda]

Ok @housseindjirdeh, thinking back now I think it was a comment on an issue or PR a while back.

[wndisra]

Ok. I'll work on it. Thanks a lot for your complete explanation @housseindjirdeh.

@wlisrausr I did similar in PR #211, but apparently missed the search results, you can see this PR and fix it.

[wndisra]

Great! That's exactly what I need. Thanks @lex111. I'll fix it

[andrewda]

Haha guess that's where I saw it @lex111 🙃

[housseindjirdeh]

So it's the userListItemcomponent where we'll probably want to update this instead of specifically SearchScreen (right [here])https://github.com/gitpoint/git-point/blob/master/src/components/user-list-item.component.js#L114-L116) and here). This is because screens like FollowersListScreen and FollowingListScreen can show yourself as a user where if clicked should also navigate to the authenticated user's profile.

I think it might be worthwhile to just make UserListItem stateful and mapped to the state.auth.user in order to conditionally navigate to AuthProfile or Profile. That way any screen that uses this component will navigate correctly.

[wndisra]

Yes, that's exactly what I thought. I'm working on it and thanks to make it more clearly @housseindjirdeh
