mzellhuber/lovevery

This Swift-based mobile application adopts the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture, focusing on efficiently managing and displaying user messages 📱. It leverages the MVVM pattern to enhance code scalability and maintainability, allowing for dynamic updates to the UI and separation of the business logic from the user interface.

Key Components 🔑

• LoveveryApp: The main entry point of the application, responsible for the initial setup and configuration 🚀.
• Message: Defines the data model for user messages, suitable for decoding and handling backend data 💌.
• NetworkManager: Manages all network communications, ensuring robust and reliable data fetching and posting 🌐.
• ContentView: Acts as the root view, managing the navigation and display of other views within the app 🖼️.
• PostMessageView: Allows users to compose and send messages through a user-friendly interface 📤.
• UserMessagesView: Displays messages in a list format, facilitating user interactions 📋.
• MessageViewModel: Handles the business logic related to message operations, binding the views with the underlying data 🔗.

Setup Instructions 🛠️

1. Clone the repository: Download the source code from the repository 📥.
2. Build and Run the application: Execute the application on an iOS device or in the simulator 📲.

Technology Stack 📚

• Swift: The primary programming language for building the application 🖥️.
• SwiftUI: Used for crafting the user interfaces, providing a declarative framework for state-driven UI design 🎨.
• Xcode: The development environment for managing and building the iOS project ⚙️.

Usage 📖

• Main View: This view serves as the central hub where all existing messages are displayed, grouped by user. For users with more than three messages, a 'See More' button is available, which takes you directly to the UserMessagesView for expanded viewing. 🔗
• View Messages: Access the UserMessagesView to see all current messages 📜.
• Post Messages: Use the PostMessageView to create and dispatch new messages ✉️.
• Network Operations: Depend on the NetworkManager for executing all network-related tasks, like retrieving and sending messages 🌍.
