Architectural pattern: MVVM

• Model: contains the structures of application data.
• View: contains the visual components of interfaces. They usually handles the logics of view such as clicked button, a view presentation and so on.
• ViewModel: handle all business logics.

Design patterns:

1. Dependency Injection (DI): to handle class constructor
2. Singleton: to manage DI's initialization.

Libraries:

1. SwiftLint: to check automatically the coding convention.
2. RealmSwift: to cache favorited cities.
