SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of inconsistent ViewModel implementations in iOS projects by providing a standardized, reusable pattern.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured ViewModel Definition: Enforces a clear Input/Output/Route/Config/Dependency/State pattern for robust ViewModel design.
  • Combine & async/await Integration: Seamlessly integrates modern Swift concurrency and reactive programming paradigms.
  • Use Case: A new iOS developer joins a project and needs to create a ViewModel for a new feature. By using this Skill's template, they can quickly generate a ViewModel that adheres to the project's established best practices, ensuring consistency and maintainability across the codebase.

Quick Start

Use the ios-viewmodel-pattern skill to generate a new ViewModel file based on the provided template.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize iOS ViewModel architecture across a development team?

To standardize iOS ViewModel architecture, use a template that enforces a clear Input, Output, Route, Config, Dependency, and State pattern. This ensures consistent development practices, reusability, and maintainability across your team's Swift codebase.

What is the best way to structure an iOS ViewModel using Combine and async/await?

The best way to structure an iOS ViewModel using Combine and async/await is to map inputs to outputs through a defined State and Dependency pattern. This integrates reactive programming with modern concurrency to ensure consistent data flow.

How does the Input Output Route pattern work for iOS MVVM ViewModels?

The Input Output Route pattern for iOS MVVM ViewModels works by isolating user actions into Inputs, binding results to Outputs, and handling navigation via Routes. Combined with Config and Dependency injection, it creates a testable and reusable architecture.

Can I use dependency injection with a standardized iOS ViewModel template?

Yes, you can use dependency injection with a standardized iOS ViewModel template. In fact, defining Dependencies explicitly within the ViewModel structure is required to ensure your components remain fully testable and reusable across different application contexts.

When do I need a structured ViewModel pattern for Swift applications?

You need a structured ViewModel pattern for Swift applications when consistency across a growing team becomes challenging. If new developers struggle to match established best practices, enforcing a strict Input, Output, and State architecture solves this by providing a reusable template.

Why does my iOS ViewModel architecture lack consistency and testability?

Your iOS ViewModel architecture lacks consistency and testability because it likely misses a standardized pattern for managing State and Dependencies. By adopting a strict Input, Output, and Route template, you enforce clear data flow patterns that make ViewModels reusable.
