esthers-books-swiftui's Issues

Fetch books from backend

Implement the logic to request books data from backend. The sample data should also still be usable.

• Fetch the books data
• Fetch images from URL
• Sort books by most recently finished (for now)

Refactor project as multiplatform app

See Xcode 12.0 Beta. Might be better to start from a new Multiplatform app & migrate existing code. Still early enough. :)

Add Genre list to Library view

Display the genres in a list. When a genre is selected, navigate to the corresponding list of books. (Use BookList for this.)

Create baseline app layout with sample data

• Implement tab views, starting with Library & Books tabs
• Move book list to the Books tab
• Design & implement Library view
• Create spiffy Year cards

Save Token & keep a user logged in

If a user has previously logged in and their token is still valid, then go directly to the home view. Otherwise, display the login view. Use keychain to save the tokens securely.

Add genre info to book detail view

Display the genres that a book belongs to in its detail view.

Optimize UI for iPad

Leverage the best practices from Apple to create a layout that works best for iPad.

Optimize UI for macOS

Leverage the best practices from Apple to create a layout that works best for macOS.

Animate the splash screen

Pulse icon opacity or something to show something is happening.

Add login flow

• Design login UI
• Implement logic to request tokens from backend

Add profile view

• Display user info
• Include logout button

Cache images

Use NSCache to cache the images.

Persist books data

Currently using NSCache to cache the images. The book data itself is currently not saved. Migrate to Core Data to persist the data and only fetch data from the server on startup or when the user manually requests an update (e.g. by pulling down on a list). Also, use the repository pattern approach used with the Token data.
