This app fetches and displays information about dog breeds using the Dog API.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [...]

Open the project in Xcode. Run the app in a simulator or device.

The app's codebase is organized into distinct sections, each serving a specific purpose:

• Utils/: Utilities like CacheManager.swift for caching, aiming to improve performance and support offline usage.

• Models/: Defines DogBreed and other models, central to our app's data handling.

• ViewModels/: Implements the MVVM pattern with classes such as DogBreedListViewModel, ensuring a clear separation between our app's logic and its presentation.

• Views/: SwiftUI views (DogBreedListView, etc.) that render the user interface, designed to be both functional and intuitive.

• Services/: The DogBreedService class and others encapsulate all networking logic, keeping it separate from UI code.

• BreedAppTests/: Contains unit tests, including mocks and test cases for ViewModels and Services, to verify the app's reliability and behavior.

• Caching: We opted for UserDefaults with a simple cache invalidation strategy to enhance data retrieval speed and offer basic offline functionality.

• Concurrency: Embraced Swift's async/await for network communication, aiming for cleaner and more readable asynchronous code.

• Architecture: Chose the MVVM design pattern to promote a clean separation of concerns across our app's structure.

We've strived to maintain high code quality by:

• Prioritizing essential features and robust implementations.
• Adhering to Swift and SwiftUI best practices.
• Designing with future extensibility in mind.

• Show a screen with a list of dog breeds images.
  • Implemented in DogBreedListView.
• Show a screen with a list of dog breeds when you search by breed name.
  • Implemented in DogBreedSearchView with live search functionality.
• Show a screen with the detailed view of a breed.
  • Implemented in DogBreedDetailView.

• Use a Tab Bar to switch between the list of dog breeds and the search screen.
  • Implemented with a TabView at the root level.
• Ability to move from a list view into a grid view and take use of pagination.
  • Implemented in DogBreedListView with a toggle for list/grid view and pagination.
• Ability to order alphabetically.
  • Implemented in DogBreedListView with a sort button.
• Show only the dog breed image and the name in the list/grid view.
  • Implemented in DogBreedView.
• Pressing on one of the list elements goes to the details view.
  • Implemented with NavigationLink in DogBreedListView and DogBreedSearchView.

• Search Bar to search by breed name.
  • Implemented in DogBreedSearchView with debouncing.
• List of results in search shows Breed Name, Group, Origin.
  • Assuming implementation based on available data. Display customization might be needed based on the actual model and UI design.
• Details view contains Breed Name, Category (assuming 'group' or 'designation'), Origin, and Temperament.
  • Implemented in DogBreedDetailView.

• Unit tests coverage.
  • Provided examples for testing view models: DogBreedListViewModelTests, DogBreedDetailViewModelTests, and DogBreedSearchViewModelTests.
• [Partialy] Offline functionality.
  • Covered with a cache strategy and UserDefault. Consider implementing caching with Core Data or UserDefaults. **ps found a bug on image-cache 🐞
• Error Handling.
  • Basic error handling implemented in view models with loading and error message states.

• Create a complete project in a version-controlled repository.
  • Ensure the project is committed to a Git repository.
• Perform several commits to show progress.
  • Commit history should reflect the development progress and implementation details.
• Share the repository link.
  • Make the repository public and prepare to share the link.

• Review and refine the UI/UX design. Ensure the app's interface is intuitive and visually appealing.
• Conduct thorough testing on different devices and OS versions. Ensure compatibility and smooth operation across a range of conditions.
• Optimize performance. Ensure that the app runs smoothly, especially when handling large lists and performing searches.
• Prepare documentation. Include a README with setup instructions, features, and any other relevant information.
