tmdb-movie-browsing-test

! The [TMDB api key] has been removed from the code, and causes FatalError if not provided !

Implementation notes and remarks

• I have updated the provided code and added other features too, like cached async images, but I have removed these changes and restored the original UI. I tried to maintain the asked MVVM pattern. I tried not to change the provided View files and provided skeleton, apart from adding pull-to-refresh to the movie list scene.

• I persist the Favorites in UserDefaults. Although the current Favorites architecture is not a perfect solution, it works, and the data remains even when the user reloads the movies/ quits the app.

• I have introduced a manager class that handles the movie service and connects it with the favorites. The movie list view model only subscribes to the changes of the movie view model database in the manager. I have tried multiple approach to optimize the view reload frequency, but this solution changed the original skeleton the least.

• Error handling has no UI implication, it is only printed.

• Although some unit tests are provided, they are not thourough.

Introduction

Using the application framework provided for you, create a movie browsing application that displays a list of most popular movies, as well as some basic details about them.

Implementation details

• Use the application framework provided for you.

• Write your application using Swift.

• Host your project on GitHub. Use git as you see fit.

• Use the latest version of TMDB api to fetch data about movies. An API key will be provided for you.

• Create a screen to show a list of trending movies. Display some additional info including the movie poster, title, its genres, rating etc. (UI is provided)

• Selecting a movie from the list, the user should navigate to the detail page of that movie, that displays some additional info. (UI + navigation provided)

• On the details screen the user can mark the movie and add it to their own list (You don't have to persist this data). This status is also visible on the movie list screen. (shared data/state)

• Please note that TMDB uses unique genre IDs that need to be resolved using a separate API call. Do not hardcode genres into your application.

Notes

• The application framework that is provided for you uses an MVVM approach. We advise to separate your code into layers that you see fit in this architecture.

• Instead of proof of concept style solutions, we would be interested how you would implement the task as a scalable solution
