1. Simple Networking API ( Ktor )
2. Async Task Helper ( Kotlinx.Coroutines )
5. Object Serialization Helper ( Kotlinx.Serialization )
6. Key Value Store ( Multiplatform Settings )
7. LiveData & LiveDataObservable ( LiveData )
8. Observe with DBHelper ( Local Database : SQLite - SQLDelight )
11. Persistence Module - Database ( Realm & SQLDelight ) and Key Value Store ( Multiplatform Settings )
12. Injector Module - Dependency Injection ( Koin )
13. Resource Module - strings and colors ( MokoResources )
1. Simple Networking API ( Ktor )
Create API Services using BaseAPI class. All network responses are wrapped in Either data type
class JsonPlaceHolderServiceAPI : BaseAPI() {
override val baseUrl: String
get() = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/"
suspend fun getPosts(postId: Int): Either<List<PostModel>, NetworkFailure> {
return doGet("comments?postId=$postId")
}
suspend fun setPost(post: PostModel): Either<PostModel, NetworkFailure> {
return doPost("comments", post)
}
}class BreedServiceAPI : BaseAPI() {
override val baseUrl: String
get() = "https://dog.ceo/"
suspend fun getBreeds(): Either<List<Breed>, NetworkFailure> {
return doGet<BreedResult>("api/breeds/list/all").flatMap { breedResult ->
//Converting BreedResult to List<TBreed>
Either.Success(
breedResult.message.keys
.sorted().toList()
.map { Breed(0L, name = it.toWordCaps(), false) }
)
}
}
}2. Async Task Helper ( Kotlinx.Coroutines )
Run code (Networking calls, Heavy calculations, Large dataSets from local DB, etc..) in Background thread and get the result in UI thread.
runOnBackground {
//Code to execute in background
}Return value from background
runOnBackgroundWithResult {
//Code to execute in background with return
}.resultOnUI { result ->
}
or
runOnBackgroundWithResult {
//Code to execute in background with return
}.resultOnBackground { result ->
}class PostViewModel(view: LoginView) : BaseViewModel<LoginView>(view) {
fun getPostsFromAPI() {
runOnBackgroundWithResult {
JsonPlaceHolderServiceAPI().getPosts(1) //getPost returns data so return statement is not needed
//or
// return@runOnBackgroundWithResult JsonPlaceHolderServiceAPI().getPosts(1)
}.resultOnUI {
getView()?.showPopUpMessage(
"First Post Details",
"Username : ${it.first().name}\n email : ${it.first().email}"
)
}
}
fun savePost() {
val post = PostModel("Post Body", "[email protected]", 100, "Jitty", 6)
runOnBackgroundWithResult {
JsonPlaceHolderServiceAPI().setPost(post)
}.resultOnUI {
getView()?.showPopUpMessage("Saved Post Details", "Name : ${it.name}\n email : ${it.email}")
}
}
}View Model can pass objects & values from Activity to Activity (Android) or ViewController to ViewController (iOS)
// 1st View Model
var userModel = UserModel("[email protected]", "Jitty", "Andiyan")
var bundle = Bundle {
putStringExtra(HomeViewModel.USER_NAME, username.toString())
putSerializableExtra(HomeViewModel.USER_OBJECT, userModel, UserModel.serializer())
}
getView()?.navigateToHomePage(bundle)
// 1st View
fun navigateToHomePage(bundle: BundleX)
// 1st Activity : Android
override fun navigateToHomePage(bundle: BundleX) {
openActivity(HomeActivity::class.java, bundle)
finish()
}
// 1st ViewContoller : iOS
func navigateToHomePage (bundle: BundleX) {
openViewController(newViewControllerName: "HomeViewController", bundle: bundle)
}
// 2nd View Model
class HomeViewModel(view: HomeView) : BaseViewModel<HomeView>(view) {
companion object BundleKeys {
const val USER_NAME = "USERNAME"
const val USER_OBJECT = "USEROBJ"
}
override fun onStartViewModel() {
getBundleValue<String>(USER_NAME)?.let { username ->
}
getBundleValue<UserModel>(USER_OBJECT)?.let { userModel ->
}
}
}Execute anything specific to a particular platform using Platform Blocks
runOnAndroid {
}
runOniOS {
}
5. Object Serialization Helper ( Kotlinx.Serialization )
Use toJsonString and toObject functions for instant serialization.
Objects to String Serialization
var userModel = UserModel("[email protected]", "Jitty", "Andiyan")
var jsonString = userModel.toJsonString(UserModel.serializer())
String to Object Serialization
var userModel = jsonString.toObject<UserModel>()
or
var userModel:UserModel = jsonString.toObject()
or
var userModel = jsonString.toObject(UserModel.serializer())
6. Key Value Store ( Multiplatform Settings )
Use storeValue and getStoreValue functions for storing and retrieving Key-Value respectively
Storing Key-Value pair
var userModel = UserModel("[email protected]", "Jitty", "Andiyan")
storeValue {
putString("Key1","Value")
putBoolean("Key2",false)
putSerializable("Key3",userModel,UserModel.serializer())
}
Retrieve Value using Key
var stringValue = getStoreValue<String>("Key1")
or
var stringValue:String? = getStoreValue("Key1")
var boolValue = getStoreValue<Boolean>("Key2")
var userModel = getStoreValue<UserModel>("Key3",UserModel.serializer())
7. LiveData & LiveDataObservable ( LiveData )
LiveData follows the observer pattern. LiveData notifies Observer objects when underlying data changes. You can consolidate your code to update the UI in these Observer objects. That way, you don't need to update the UI every time the app data changes because the observer does it for you.
//Sources
var premiumManager = PremiumManager()
var premiumManagerBoolean = PremiumManagerBoolean()
//Create Observer & Observe
var subscriptionLiveDataObservable = observe<String> {
getView()?.setSubscriptionLabel(it)
}
//Adding Sources
subscriptionLiveDataObservable.addSource(premiumManager.premium())
or
//Adding Sources with converter (Boolean to String)
subscriptionLiveDataObservable.addSource(premiumManagerBoolean.isPremium()){
if (it)
{
return@addSource "Premium"
}else{
return@addSource "Free"
}
}
//Update source states
premiumManager.becomePremium()
premiumManagerBoolean.becomeFree()
premiumManager.becomeFree()
premiumManagerBoolean.becomePremium()
class PremiumManager {
private val premium = MutableLiveDataX<String>()
fun premium(): LiveDataX<String> {
return premium
}
fun becomePremium() {
premium.value = "premium"
}
fun becomeFree() {
premium.value = "free"
}
}
class PremiumManagerBoolean {
private val premium = MutableLiveDataX<Boolean>()
fun isPremium(): LiveDataX<Boolean> {
return premium
}
fun becomePremium() {
premium.value = true
}
fun becomeFree() {
premium.value = false
}
}
8. Observe with DBHelper ( Local Database : SQLite - SQLDelight )
Use 'asFlow()' extension from DBHelper class to observe a query data
class BreedTableHelper : DBHelper() {
fun getAllBreeds(): Flow<List<TBreed>> =
localDB.tBreedQueries
.selectAll()
.asFlow()
.mapToList()
.flowOn(Dispatchers_Default)
suspend fun insertBreeds(breeds: List<TBreed>) {
...
}
fun selectById(id: Long): Flow<List<TBreed>> =
localDB.tBreedQueries
.selectById(id)
.asFlow()
.mapToList()
.flowOn(Dispatchers_Default)
suspend fun deleteAll() {
...
}
suspend fun updateFavorite(breedId: Long, favorite: Boolean) {
localDB.transactionWithContext(Dispatchers_Default) {
localDB.tBreedQueries.updateFavorite(favorite, breedId)
}
}
}class BreedViewModel(view: BreedView) : BaseViewModel<BreedView>(view) {
private lateinit var breedTableHelper: BreedTableHelper
private lateinit var breedLiveDataObservable: LiveDataObservable<Either<List<TBreed>, Failure>>
private lateinit var breedListCache: BreedListCache
override fun onStartViewModel() {
breedTableHelper = BreedTableHelper()
breedListCache = BreedListCache(getBackgroundCoroutineScope())
breedLiveDataObservable = observe { breedList ->
breedList.either({
getView()?.showPopUpMessage(it.message)
getView()?.stopRefreshing()
}, {
getView()?.refreshBreedList(it)
getView()?.stopRefreshing()
})
}
refreshBreedListCache(forceRefresh = false)
observeBreedsTable()
}
private fun observeBreedsTable() {
//get Data from db with observe (Flow)
runOnBackground {
//Each refreshBreedListCache will trigger collect
breedTableHelper.getAllBreeds().collect {
breedLiveDataObservable.setValue(Either.Success(it))
}
}
}
private fun refreshBreedListCache(forceRefresh: Boolean) {
breedListCache.cacheData(Unit, forceRefresh)
{ cachedResult ->
cachedResult.either({
breedLiveDataObservable.setValue(Either.Failure(it))
}, {
println("Cache Table updated : $it")
})
}
}
}use Either data type to represent a value of one of two possible types (a disjoint union). Instances of Either are either an instance of Failure or Success
Either<SuccessType, FailureType>convert or map SuccessType using flatMap or map
var result = doGet<List<UserModel>> {
apiPath("jittya/jsonserver/users?username=${credentails.username}&password=${credentails.password}")
}
return result.flatMap {
// convert List to Boolean
Either.Success(it.any { it.username == credentails.username && it.password == credentails.password })
}use either blocks( either or eitherAsync [for suspended method support] ) to define failure & success functionalities
authenticatedResult.either({
//Failure
getView()?.showPopUpMessage(it.message)
}, { isAuthenticated ->
//Success
if (isAuthenticated) {
var userModel = UserModel("[email protected]", "Jitty", "Andiyan")
var bundle = Bundle {
putStringExtra(HomeViewModel.USER_NAME, username.toString())
putSerializableExtra(HomeViewModel.USER_OBJECT, userModel, UserModel.serializer())
}
getView()?.navigateToHomePage(bundle)
} else {
getView()?.showPopUpMessage("Login Failed")
}
})Use BaseDataCache<RequestParamType, DataType> to implement data caching (remote to local). call cacheData function to get and save data
class BreedListCache(backgroundCoroutineScope: CoroutineScope) :
BaseDataCache<Unit, List<TBreed>>(backgroundCoroutineScope, "BREED_SYNC_TIME") {
override suspend fun getData(param: Unit): Either<List<TBreed>, Failure> {
//get data from remote (using api)
return BreedServiceAPI().getBreeds()
}
override suspend fun saveData(data: List<TBreed>): Either<Boolean, Failure> {
//save remote data in Local database
return try {
BreedTableHelper().insertBreeds(data)
Either.Success(true)
} catch (e: Exception) {
Either.Failure(DataBaseFailure(e))
}
}
}var breedListCache = BreedListCache(getBackgroundCoroutineScope())
private fun refreshBreedListCache(forceRefresh: Boolean) {
// breedListCache.cacheData(Unit, forceRefresh)
// or
breedListCache.cacheData(Unit, forceRefresh)
{ cachedResult ->
cachedResult.either({ failure ->
println("Cache failed : $failure")
}, { success ->
println("Cache updated : $success")
})
}
