Scalable Design : Your Next Unicorn iOS App

This article intends to give the testable start-off point for ios-devs trying to ship their very first app to App Store.

What : List of latest news to be pulled from news-api, parsed and shown as a list on home screen of the iOS app. App Code should be written in a way, making it mostly testable by writing unit test with XCTest framework.

How : I have used MVVM for structuring the code paired with unit tests written via XCTest.

High Level Design Code:

“HLD”

1. HomeViewController : Class consisting of UI part of the app.

“HomeViewController”

2. HomeViewModel: Class to provide all the data HomeViewContoller or view from models.

“HomeViewModel”

3. HomeAPIManager: Class to fetch news from news-api end points

“HomeAPIManager”

4. News: Model for the News item from news-api response.

“News”

5. NewServices: Protocol to fetch news from news-api end points.

“NewsService”

6. HomeViewModelDelegate: Delegate to send across info from ViewModel to HomeVC.

“HomeViewModelDelegate”
