MVVM + Clean Architecture
"Clean Architecture" complements MVVM by further breaking down the architecture into multiple layers for better
separation of concerns, scalability, and adherence to the Dependency Rule (higher-level layers should not depend on
lower-level ones; instead, they depend on abstractions). This results in more structured and maintainable code,
especially for large projects.
Key Components:
1. Entities (Domain Layer):
- Represents the core business logic (e.g., business rules, calculations).
- Independent of frameworks and external layers to ensure maximum reusability.
- Pure Swift code designed to remain agnostic to how it’s used.
2. Use Cases (Application Layer):
- Contains the specific application logic (e.g., processing user actions, interacting with the data layer).
- Coordinates between Domain and Data layers.
- Directly called by the ViewModel.
3. User Interface (Presentation Layer):
- Views (UI) and ViewModels (MVVM reside here).
- Implements UI components and connects ViewModels to the application logic via use cases.
4. Repositories (Data Layer):
- Abstracts access to data sources (e.g., REST APIs, SQLite, CoreData, etc.).
- Responsible for fetching and storing data, but does not contain business-specific rules.
