Introduction

Welcome to the documentation of SwiftyViper – a lightweight framework for implementing the VIPER architecture in Swift. This documentation will guide you through the installation process, explain the basic concepts of VIPER, and provide examples and best practices for using SwiftyViper in your projects.

Installation

To install SwiftyViper in your project, you have multiple options:

  • Add SwiftyViper as a dependency in your Podfile and run pod install.

  • Alternatively, you can download the latest release from GitHub and manually add the files to your project.

Getting Started

Once SwiftyViper is successfully integrated into your project, you can start implementing VIPER architecture with ease. VIPER stands for:

  1. View
  2. Interactor
  3. Presenter
  4. Entity
  5. Router

Basic Concepts

Here’s a brief explanation of each component:

  • View: Responsible for displaying the user interface and handling user interactions. It communicates with the presenter.

    • The view receives user input through actions and delegates them to the presenter.
  • Interactor: Performs business logic and communicates with external services or repositories. It notifies the presenter about domain-specific events.

    • The interactor relies on protocols to accomplish its tasks and keeps the presenter unaware of the implementation details.
  • Presenter: Acts as the mediator between the view and interactor. Receives input from the view, executes business logic through the interactor, and prepares data for display.

    • The presenter handles UI updates based on responses from the interactor and communicates with the router for navigation.
  • Entity: Contains data models or classes used in the application.
  • Router: Handles navigation between screens or modules. It receives commands from the presenter and manages the flow accordingly.

Example Usage

To demonstrate the usage of SwiftyViper, let’s consider a simple login module. We will assume you have already implemented the necessary views and view controllers.



import SwiftyViper

class LoginInteractor: ViperInteractor {
// Add your implementation here
}

class LoginPresenter: ViperPresenter {
// Add your implementation here
}

class LoginRouter: ViperRouter {
// Add your implementation here
}

class LoginViewController: UIViewController, ViperView {
// Add your implementation here
}
