Used Design patterns

This project demonstrate dependency injection and Swinject in MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture with RxSwift.

App Description

Articles list which fetched from public news API. The user has to search about any company using the top search bar to fetch articles.

Once the user tap on any article, the app shows the article details such as title, decription, image, url..etc.

App Groups

• Configurations: App has three xcconfig files to determine the App environment. the environments are Debug, Staging, and Production. You can select one of them for run, test or archive. each environment has it server base URL, API key and app name.

• MVVM : Model View ViewModel

  • Model :
    • Entities: is a simple data model which implement decodable parsing protocol to decode JSON from API Call.
    • Networking: protocol method to fetch JSON from HTTP request and decode it using 'Himotoki' Pod. It uses Alamofire Pod for Networking.
  • View: It is a simple group which contains all app cells and view controllers.
  • View Model: It is a group which contains app view models.
    • ex : ArticlesSearchViewModel is a view model for SearchViewController.It uses RxSwift to define Inputs and Outputs by AtriclesSearchViewModeling protocol.It implement AtriclesSearchViewModeling protocol to handle user seach query and fetch it using Network Model and present it as CellModel which called ArticleCellModeling.Also It handle user row selection by presentDetails Observable which emit a row selection event to SearchViewController.

• Managers :

  • DependencyInjection : class used for register Models , ViewModels and Views into shared container. It can be used to reslove the injected dependencies into another instnace.
  • ImageLoader: Use Nuke Pod to make simple tasks like loading images into views extremely simple.

• Preferences: used to get all app preferences like base URL, apiKey ..etc. and it used to for main bundle methods (fetch values from info.plist file).

• Resources: group contains Localizable String files to show the app in English and Arabic languages.
