A mobile app that shows a list of products and their details in an e-commerce environment written 100% in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose using Android Jetpack Components.

To inspect network requests, run the app, and Chucker will post a notification with all intercepted requests.

• Create a page to list all products, in the order in which they appear in the API response
• Create a page to view a single product once a product has been selected from the list.

• Tech-stack

  • Kotlin - a modern, cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference.
  • Coroutines - lightweight threads to perform asynchronous tasks.
  • Flow - a stream of data that emits multiple values sequentially.
  • StateFlow - Flow APIs that enable flows to emit updated state and emit values to multiple consumers optimally.
  • Dagger Hilt - a dependency injection library for Android built on top of Dagger that reduces the boilerplate of doing manual injection.
  • Coil - An image-loading library for Android backed by Koltin Coroutines.
  • Moshi Converter A JSON serialization converter which uses Moshi
  • Jetpack
    • Jetpack Compose - A modern toolkit for building native Android UI
    • Lifecycle - perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle state.
    • ViewModel - store and manage UI-related data lifecycle conscious manner and survives configuration change.
  • Chucker An on-device Http inspector for Android and OkHttp.
  • Timber - a highly extensible Android logger.

• Architecture

  • MVVM - Model View View Model

• Tests

  • JUnit - a simple framework for writing repeatable tests.
  • MockK - mocking library for Kotlin
  • Turbine - A testing library for Kotlin Flows
  • Truth - A fluent assertions library for Android and Java.

• Gradle

  • Gradle Kotlin DSL - An alternative syntax for writing Gradle build scripts using Koltin.
  • Version Catalogs - A scalable way of maintaining dependencies and plugins in a multi-module project.
  • Convention Plugins - A way to encapsulate and reuse common build configuration in Gradle, see here
  • Plugins
    • Ktlint - creates convenient tasks in your Gradle project that run ktlint checks or do code auto format.
    • Spotless - format Java, groovy, markdown, and license headers using gradle.

• CI/CD

  • GitHub Actions

All the dependencies (external libraries) are managed using version catalogs and defined in a single place gradle/libs.versions.toml file. This is a scalable approach to manage dependencies and use the same dependency version across all modules.

This repo uses ktlint, a Kotlin linter, to analyze the codebase, and identify potential code style violations, code quality issues, etc. Before every commit, make sure you run the following bash script:

./codeAnalysis.sh

A well-planned architecture is extremely important for any Android project; It makes it easier to maintain the app as the codebase grows and the team expands. This repo uses the MVVM pattern with clean architecture to have decoupled, testable, and maintainable code. MVVM separates views (Activities, Fragments, or Composables) from the app's business logic. However, as the codebase grows, ViewModels start bloating, and separation of responsibilities becomes hard hence the need to use MVVM with clean architecture.

• Allows the app to scale easily
• Easier onboarding of new team members
• Easier to test code
• Makes it easier to enforce coder ownership This repo uses MVVM with Clean Architecture with the following modules:

Contains repositories, data sources, and model classes. This layer hides the implementation details and data sources from the outside.

This module encapsulates complex business logic or simple logic that multiple ViewModels reuse. It contains all the use cases of the application and models independent of any framework-specific dependencies and represents the business logic.

Contains views(in this app, Composable) and ViewModels. The views post events to the ViewModel and subscribe to the updated state.

Contains reusable UI components, Color, Typography, and Theme that can be reused across various modules

This module contains test code, test resources, and test dependencies.
