A technical assignment for Coolblue
CoolblueApp
This repository contains a technical assignment that is a part of the interviewing process for the position of iOS Developer at Coolblue.
I followed the principles of SOLID to keep the project well organized, testable, and easy to maintain. As the Clean architecture suggests, I abstracted the entire project and divided it into layers:
This is how it looks when the diagram shown above is translated into a project structure. All those layers are created as a framework project and then added to the main target.
CoreUI
- Responsible for containing all UI components (modified to meet design requirements)
Core
- All core extensions, methods are defined here. This layer can easily be used for another project just by adding it as a framework.
Data
- Responsible for containing base api constants, endpoint definitions with MoyaProvider and pure response objects
Domain
- Here the Data/response models are adapted to the business logic. Requests are facilitated thanks to repository classes.
Design pattern:
Since this is a single-screen application, I preferred the MVVM design pattern.
Technologies used:
- RxSwift used for:
- managing requests in Data layer
- handling UI events etc. UISearchBar
- handling base view states (success, error, loading)
- Moya library used for api requests. Although there was no need for aysnc network calls for this project, Moya, with its TargetType protocol, provides cleaner and well-structured code to store endpoint data.
Tests:
- Even though I haven’t written enough tests, the whole project is completely testable, since all layers are being isolated by interfaces, as suggested by the SOLID principles.
Prerequisites:
- iOS 13
- Swift 5
Installing:
- The project uses Cocoapods for dependency management. After pod install, just open CoolblueApp.xcworkspace, select the App target and hopefully run it ?
