NKSmartViper Code Generator

The presented template and script are designed to generate a module on most popular architectures: MVC, MVP & VIPER.

The main idea of this solution is the possibility of using modules with different architectures, while not violating the principles of encapsulation and extensibility, to allow the developer to change the structure of individual modules without affecting the functionality of all the others.

The purpose of this solution:

• speed up the process of writing code by autogenerating the module's templates;
• create a single mechanism of communication between modules;
• ensure compliance with SOLID principles.

Architectures & Components

The solution suggests the use of the following module architectures:

• Model-View-Controller;
• Model-View-Presenter;
• VIPER.

Solution offers the use of global entities and services (as elements of Service Oriented Architecture).

This solution is based on the use of generics in order to reduce the preservation of the integral structure of the modules and avoid the redundant code in them.

Configurator is an abstract factory (creates objects of module levels and establishes dependencies between them) and the entry point to the module.

View displays UI. View appeals to the Presenter through the Presentation protocol.

Presenter organizes communication between all levels of the module.

• Presenter appeals to View through the Viewable protocol.
• Presenter appeals to Interactor through the UseCase protocol.
• Presenter appeals to Router through the Wireframe protocol.

Interactor implements the business logic of the module, interacts with services (DB, Network, etc.). Interactor appeals to Presenter through the InteractorOutput protocol.

Router implements the transition from this module to another module.

How to use

1. Copy NKSmartVIPER folder to your project.

2. Run NKSmartViperCodeGen.

Important! Make sure the "Module" folder with the template files is in the same folder.

3. Enter the target path for the created module.

4. Select module architecture.

5. Enter name of the created module.

6. After successful generation of the module files at the specified path, add them to the project.

Example

Dowload folder with example project to get acquainted with the principles of module initialization.
