This project is a cocktail recipe app that provides users with a collection of cocktail recipes. It follows a modern Android architecture using Jetpack Compose for the user interface, ViewModel for managing data, Dagger/Hilt for dependency injection, Coil for image loading, Retrofit for network requests, and MVVM for a clean and maintainable codebase.
- Browse a list of cocktail recipes.
- View detailed information about each cocktail.
- Search for cocktails by name or ingredient.
- Save favorite cocktails for quick access.
- Share cocktail recipes with friends.
- Jetpack Compose: Used for building the user interface, providing a modern and declarative approach to UI development.
- ViewModel: Manages UI-related data and communicates with the data layer.
- Dagger/Hilt: For dependency injection, ensuring a modular and maintainable codebase.
- Coil: Efficiently loads and displays images in the app.
- Retrofit: Handles network requests and data retrieval from a remote server.
- MVVM Architecture: Ensures separation of concerns and maintainability of the codebase.
- Clean Architecture: Promotes a clean separation of layers, making the app more testable and scalable.
The project follows the principles of Clean Architecture, consisting of three main layers:
-
Presentation Layer: Jetpack Compose components and ViewModels reside here, responsible for rendering UI and handling user interactions.
-
Domain Layer: Contains business logic, use cases, and domain models. It's independent of the Android framework.
-
Data Layer: Manages data sources, repositories, and network communication. Retrofit is used to fetch data from a remote server.
- Dagger/Hilt: For dependency injection.
- Coil: For image loading.
- Retrofit: For network requests.
- Jetpack Compose: For building the UI.
- ViewModel: For managing UI-related data.
- Kotlin Coroutines: For handling asynchronous operations.
- Firebase Authentication: Secure user authentication for enhanced app functionality.
- SplashScreen API: Improved app startup experience with a custom animated splash screen.
    
The app is built using the Modular MVVM architectural pattern and makes heavy use of a couple of Android Jetpack components. MVVM allows for the separation of concern which also makes testing easier.
