VIPER

This project will apply VIPER

VIPER is an application of Clean Architecture to iOS apps. The word VIPER is a backronym for View, Interactor, Presenter, Entity, and Routing.

• View: displays what it is told to by the Presenter and relays user input back to the Presenter.
• Interactor: contains the business logic as specified by a use case.
• Presenter: contains view logic for preparing content for display (as received from the Interactor) and for reacting to user inputs (by requesting new data from the Interactor).
• Entity: contains basic model objects used by the Interactor.
• Routing: contains navigation logic for describing which screens are shown in which order.

I also use Repository pattern for Data Access Layer.

AVC Kit

With objectives are to write reusable, maintainable and testable code. I introduce a new way of using UICollectionView, ACVKit, a lightweight collection view.

As your can see, from our data models, we will break down into corresponding section models. A section model is backed by bunch of item models and each item is corresponding to a cell. And then thank to Adapter them can work with collection view. With this approach, you can easily reuse your cells, your items and your sections as well.

For instance, you already have an section model that contains 3 items: title, subtext, image. And then you wanna create a new section that also contain title, so you can attach the title item directly into your new section model and BOOM!. That's it.

We can enject multiple types of section models. So we can make a collection view that shows multiple types of data as well. For instance, you making an application with having the newsfeed, so it's really nice to serve users with different types of content, such as: image, video or ... ads :D to make profit.

Pls take a look at my source code for the reference.

How to use

I already create an concrete class, ACVViewController, subclassing UICollectionViewController.

Create your section by comforming to SectionViewModel, item by ItemViewModel and cell by ItemViewProtocol

Step 1:

Creat a new view controller that is inhereted ACVViewController.

class HomeViewController: ACVViewController {
  /// Implementation
}

Step2:

Set acvAdapter dataSource and delegate(optional).

override func viewDidLoad() {
   ///
   acvAdapter.dataSource = self
}

Step 3:

Conform ACVAdapterDataSource to your class

func sectionViewModelsForAdapter(_ adapter: ACVAdapter) -> [SectionViewModel] {
   // return your section models here
}

Step 4:

Invoke acvAdapter.performUpdate() or acvAdapter.reloadAllSections() when has changes.

acvAdapter.performUpdate()
