KiliMart

Consuming FAKE STORE API to demonstrate online shop store.Built this app using the MVVM architecture, Kotlin Flows, (Uni-directional data flow), dagger hilt, viewmodel, Room and Kotlin coroutines.

App General preview

Tech Stack & Concepts

• • Kotlin - a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference.
  • Coroutines - perform background operations.
  • Flow - handle the stream of data asynchronously that executes sequentially.
  • Dagger hilt - a pragmatic lightweight dependency injection framework.
  • Logging Interceptor - logs HTTP requests and responses data messages and lines and their headers based on their level
  • MVVM- MVVM stands for Model, View, ViewModel. Model: This holds the data of the application. It cannot directly talk to the View. Generally, it's recommended to expose the data to the ViewModel through Observables.
    • Room database - The Room persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
• Kotlin Coroutines - A concurrency design pattern that you can use on Android to simplify code that executes asynchronously.
• Retrofit - Retrofit is a REST client for Java/ Kotlin and Android by Square inc under Apache 2.0 license. Its a simple network library that is used for network transactions. By using this library we can seamlessly capture JSON response from web service/web API.
• GSON - JSON Parser,used to parse requests on the data layer for Entities and understands Kotlin non-nullable and default parameters.
• Network bound resource - An algorithm that provides an easy function to fetch resource from both database and network
  • Jetpack
    • Room - a persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite.
    • LiveData - is an observable data holder.
    • Lifecycle - perform action when lifecycle state changes.
    • ViewModel - store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.
• Shimmer Effect
• Lottie Animations
• Shared Preferences
• Datastore
