Here's a look at the tools and practices shaping the UI:
- 🎨 Jetpack Compose: For a modern, declarative UI.
- 🗃️ ViewModels: Acting as state holders.
- 🌊 Kotlin Flow & StateFlow: For data streams and state management.
The domain layer is the backbone:
- 📚 Pure Kotlin: For a platform-agnostic core.
- ⚙️ Use Cases: Distinct operations encapsulating business rules.
- 🧪 Unit Testing: For validating each use case.
- 🚀 Decoupling: Ensuring stability and consistency.
The data layer stands as a pivotal component:
- 🗂️ Repository Pattern: For clean data access.
- 🌐 Ktor: Handling API calls.
- 📦 Room: Local data storage.
We bring functional programming into play:
- 🧮 Pure Functions: For predictable, testable behavior.
- 🔒 Immutable Data: Minimizing potential bugs.
- 🌊 Kotlin Flow Integration: For handling asynchronous data streams.
Hilt takes dependency management to the next level:
- 🎯 Simplified Injection: Automated dependency management.
- 📦 Modularity: For easy scaling.
- 🕒 Scoped Components: Aligned with Android's architecture components.
- 🌐 Offline Handling: Friendly alerts and cached data ensure smooth usage, even without a connection.
- 💾 Data Persistence: From user preferences to dog breed details, we save the essentials for offline access.
⚠️ Clear Error Feedback: We've got you covered with clear error messages and alerts.
