Pokemon

This project use PokeAPI to retrieve pokemon dek and display it on a collection view.

To implement this project I've used MVVM+Coordinator path as requested, without using any Xcode UI facility (xib, storyboards).

Basic tasks

• ✅ Use Swift 5+
• ✅ No use of SwiftUI.
• ✅ Use IOS 13 SDK as Target.
• ✅ The UI must be created without the use of Xib or Storyboard:
  all the UI components have been programmatically created using PinLayout library
• ✅ Architecture pattern MVVM+C with separation of responsibilities.
• ✅ Loading of the list with automatic pagination on scroll:
  once reached collection view bottom, viewModel.loadMore() is triggered
• ✅ Use of SPM.
• ✅ Use Gitflow and submit the code by publishing it to a public repository:
  initially I created some feature branches in order to define main task (data model, ui..). Onc the task was finished, I created a pull request which I personally accepted
• ✅ Create a README.md in which you explain the reason for your implementation choices.

Bonus tasks

• ✅ Using PinLayout to build interfaces (https://github.com/layoutBox/PinLayout)
• ✅ Make maximum use of one external library (excluding PinLayout library)
• ❌ Make the app work even offline:
  Currently app doesn't work on offline mode, but I created NetworkHelper class that provides all the utilities to complete this task quickly
• ❌ Add some accessibility features
• ❌ Write Unit and UI Tests:
  Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement the tests. again, they can be implemented quite quickly and correctly thanks to dependency injection

Plus tasks

• ✅ Theme manager:
  I implemented a basic theme manager which help programmer to set app colors and sizes. Is intended to be a demonstration, it could be definitely improved managing fonts/font sizes too.
• ✅ Search on pokemons
• ❌ Translations:
  To develop a perfect app I should manage language translations, creating Localizable.strings and filling with related key/value
• ❌ Add loader component:
  While a network request is executing, it would be nice to add a loader before rendering request result

Scenes

Pokemon list view controller

It is a basic collection view on which I specified:

• searchBar (UICollectionView.elementKindSectionHeader)
• items rendered on a custom UICollectionView -> PokemonCollectionViewCell
• activityIndicatorView (UICollectionView.elementKindSectionFooter): it is used to check when user reach footer and trigger the load of other pokemons.

Pokemon details view controller

It is a view on which I added some subiews:

• one label to show pokemon name (could be removed and use navigation bar title to display it)
• a collection view to render pokemon sprites, with an horizontal layout
• another collection view, with vertical layout and two sections; each section have a title; on both section I use the same cell type. In the first section I render pokemon statistics with related values. One the second one, Types of pokemon are listed
