Game catalog app describing best practices for developing iOS with Swift. This repository contains detailed application examples implementing Clean Architecture with the VIPER pattern using UIKit, Modularization, Custom Built Core Libraries, Alamofire, SDWebImage, SwiftLint, Localization, CoreData and Manual Injection. Classes have been designed in such a way that they are inheritable and maximize code reuse.
This is the big picture, which should look familiar if you have been using Clean Architecture in your iOS Applications.
The general principle is to use a basic 3 tiers architecture. The good thing about it, is that it is very easy to understand and many people are familiar with it. So we will break down our solution into layers in order to respect the dependency rule (where dependencies flow in one direction: check above the rounded clean architecture graph):
VIPER is an application of Clean Architecture to iOS apps. The word VIPER is a backronym for View, Interactor, Presenter, Entity, and Routing. Clean Architecture divides an app’s logical structure into distinct layers of responsibility. This makes it easier to isolate dependencies (e.g. your database) and to test the interactions at the boundaries between layers:
The approach to modularization simply breaks down modules based on features where each model will be part of the module.
Games Catalogue uses RAWG.IO API to load a catalog of games available on the screen.
Once you have the key, add this line to the GamesCatalogue-Info file, either in the project's gamescatalogue/Supporting Files folder:
API_KEY = <YourRAWG.IO access key>
- UIKit - It provides the window and view architecture for implementing your interface.
- CoreData - Use Core Data to save your application’s permanent data for offline use, to cache temporary data, and to add undo functionality to your app on a single device.
- Alamofire - Elegant HTTP Networking in Swift.
- SDWebImage - Asynchronous image downloader with cache support as a UIImageView category.
- SwiftLint - A tool to enforce Swift style and conventions, loosely based on the now archived GitHub Swift Style Guide.
- Core - Custom built libraries for modularization.
- Manual Injection - Dependency injection means giving an object its instance variables.
- SkeletonView - An elegant way to show users that something is happening and also prepare them to which contents they are awaiting.
