MarvelAppSearch Demo App

Requires an api key from https://www.marvel.com/signin?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.marvel.com%2Faccount in xcconfig file

App to Search and Favourite Marvel Characters featuring:

• Search for characters (searches debounced every 400ms to reduce API use)
• Simple in-memory cache for images
• Favourite characters cached and retrieved using UserDefaults and encoded JSON
• Link outs to favourite marvel characters
• Swipe to delete from Favourites list

Architecture:

• MVVM-C
• RxSwift used. It should be easy to bridge to Combine but I find testing Rx easier, at least until Combine has better testing and virtual time support.
• UIKit. Should be fairly easy to jump to SwiftUI and Combine.
• SnapshotTesting for views
• Tests colocated in project folder to make them first-class citizens and highlight missing test cases
• CocoaPods used over Carthage or SPM due to ease-of-use and a bug in SPM making RxTest difficult to use.
• Pods included in repo to make it easier to clone and build for timebeing

Todo:

• loading state and network activity indicator
• error state / handling for failed network calls
