The VIPER design pattern is commonly used in iOS application development. It offers an alternative to other patterns like MVC or MVVM, providing a good layer of abstraction for more scalable and testable code. Here’s a breakdown of the VIPER components:
- View: Represents what the user sees.
- Interactor: Handles logic after receiving orders from the Presenter.
- Presenter: Connects all components, receives user actions from the View, communicates with the Interactor, and manages routing using the Router.
- Entity: Contains information and data used by the functionality (often backed by CoreData for storage).
- Router: Controls navigation flow between screens or modules.
VIPER emphasizes single responsibility, making it a powerful choice for well-structured iOS apps.
