rABCce6b5329e9c0: [Cashtab] parse sats from scanned qr code amount param

Summary

Cashtab does not parse parameters from an address nor does it remove them if they are present. However, it does validate for cashAddr format.

In its current state, Cashtab will throw a validation error after scanning a QR code with parameters.

This diff (1) Removes any scanned parameters from the address when entered into the 'to' field and
(2) parses for an amount param, and passes it to the amount field (Send BCHA screen only).

Its designed to work with mercurymessenger.io, which uses the prefix ecash: and satoshis after the amount param.

Test Plan

Generate a QR code at mercurymessenger.io
npm start to run Cashtab locally
Attempt to scan your mercurymessenger.io QR code from the Send screen
Observe address is populated with bitcoincash: prefix and amount is populated with satoshis converted to BCHA
Scan normal QR codes with no params and observe no amount is input into the amount field
Scan the mercurymessenger.io QR code with param from the SendToken.js screen and observe no amount is input into the amount field

web/cashtab/src/components/Common/ScanQRCode.js
61	This is hacky. If you wrap this inside a factility such as `isCurrency()` or `isToken()` then you can have a single place to add new prefixes, and have it to work everywhere the same. For now this is causing different behavior when pasting the address or using the QR code scanner.
91	The same thing with this block, I don't see why it should only be a QR code thing.
96	Is the checksum re-computed ?

Move address parser checks into functions, add checksum conversion for ecash prefix

Rebase

Harbormaster completed remote builds in B14777: Diff 26968.Jan 14 2021, 15:17

More a question, but why limiting this parsing to QR code only ? Couldn't this be done at the lower level so the copying ecash:xxxx?amount=NNN into the address input field would behave the same ?

web/cashtab/src/components/Common/Ticker.js
22 ↗	(On Diff #26950)	Looks like all these additions could benefit from unit testing.

Yes, good point. When I put this together yesterday, in my head I thought the copy-paste parse would need to be a separate diff and it was worth getting the QR scanner out first.

Reflecting...yes, it is possible to implement them both differently...but I don't think it offers any advantages ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will amend accordingly.

Moving parsing logic to form level and not QR code to support copy pasted and scanned ecash addr and params.
Added validation to Send.js and SendToken.js address fields in line with new params and valid addresses.
Added warning notices to Send.js and SendToken.js on detection of address params.

Bump extension version. Will submit this to Chrome store so extension can work with mercurymessenger.io.

You have a rebase issue, this diff includes changes from D8905. Also the tests are still missing.

web/cashtab/src/components/Common/Ticker.js
18 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	Is that a thing yet ?
47 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	There is an opportunity to factorize the code a bit here.
60 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	I don't think this makes a lot of sense, what about: export function toLegacy(address) if (isCash(address)) { const { _, type, hash } = cashaddr.decode(address); return cashaddr.encode('bitcoincash', type, hash); } // Maybe return an error instead ? return address; This will let you update the prefixes as you will.
95 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	This is a very limited used as is, because it only handles the amount param if it is the only param in the URI. It's fine to ignore the fields that are not supported yet but it will make sense to loop over the params, so something like `ecash:xxxx?label=hello&amount=42` would be parsed correctly.

web/cashtab/src/components/Common/Ticker.js
18 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	No. However, we know that `simpleledger:` will not be the standard on BCHA, so I think it's a good opportunity to support an array of possible prefixes. I think this PR is the appropriate place since it uses the same approach as the base layer prefix expansion.
60 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	Excellent point, thanks!
95 ↗	(On Diff #26982)	The `.has()` method of the `URLSearchParams(queryString)` object in JavaScript will recognize the `amount` param regardless of its order.
