Marvel Heroes

Marvel Heroes repository based on Marvel API https://developer.marvel.com/docs

Requirements

• iOS 13.0+
• Xcode 12.x

Installation

CocoaPods

• Add SDWebImage pod to load images asynchronusly and save them on cache.
• Add SwiftyJson to parse json response to swift models quickly.

pod install

Features

• Connect to Marvel API with properly authentication (see Config/MSConfig.swift and Service/MSUtils.swift)
• Service folder manage two request to get the API info, with the first list call we already have all needed data but I prefer separate the second detail call. Also I decide parse only used data in MSCharacterLite to improve the perfonmance. In the big Entity (MSCharacter) there are the rest fields.
• The project uses VIPER architecture to modularize the code by screens, CharacterList and CharacterDetails. The Entities are in Service folder but the rest inside of Modules.
• The views are loaded by Storyboards with Autolayout.
• When the app finish to start, the CharacterList module is loaded. In this screen, we can see a collection view with Marvel's Heroes list, showing image and name. This images has not the same aspect ratio between them, so I decide to use AspectFill on the image to give them more uniformity.
• When any cell is selected, the character detail is loaded in a new pop up, when we can see the detailed information about his Comics, Series, Stories, Events and Links.
• Also, I write some quick unit MSService class test (using real service).

Screenshots

Next steps

• Add pagination to CharacterListView would be necessary to access to entire information. Now the service return only the twenty first results.
• Add unit test to rest of the code (Modules folder).
• Add more SOLID architecture to isolate parts of code, like the Entities of the Service, which are used even by the views now.
• Improve UI to add loading indicators and many more.
