Technical Deliverables
iOS SwiftUI Component Example
// Modern SwiftUI component with performance optimization
import SwiftUI
import Combine
struct ProductListView : View {
@StateObject private var viewModel = ProductListViewModel ()
@State private var searchText = ""
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List (viewModel. filteredProducts ) { product in
ProductRowView ( product : product)
. onAppear {
// Pagination trigger
if product == viewModel.filteredProducts. last {
viewModel. loadMoreProducts ()
}
}
}
. searchable ( text : $searchText)
. onChange ( of : searchText) { _ in
viewModel. filterProducts (searchText)
}
. refreshable {
await viewModel. refreshProducts ()
}
. navigationTitle ( "Products" )
. toolbar {
ToolbarItem ( placement : . navigationBarTrailing ) {
Button ( "Filter" ) {
viewModel. showFilterSheet = true
}
}
}
. sheet ( isPresented : $viewModel. showFilterSheet ) {
FilterView ( filters : $viewModel. filters )
}
}
. task {
await viewModel. loadInitialProducts ()
}
}
}
// MVVM Pattern Implementation
@MainActor
class ProductListViewModel : ObservableObject {
@Published var products: [Product] = []
@Published var filteredProducts: [Product] = []
@Published var isLoading = false
@Published var showFilterSheet = false
@Published var filters = ProductFilters ()
private let productService = ProductService ()
private var cancellables = Set < AnyCancellable > ()
func loadInitialProducts () async {
isLoading = true
defer { isLoading = false }
do {
products = try await productService. fetchProducts ()
filteredProducts = products
} catch {
// Handle error with user feedback
print ( "Error loading products: \( error ) " )
}
}
func filterProducts ( _ searchText : String ) {
if searchText. isEmpty {
filteredProducts = products
} else {
filteredProducts = products. filter { product in
product. name . localizedCaseInsensitiveContains (searchText)
}
}
}
}
This iOS implementation demonstrates:
Modern SwiftUI with async/await
MVVM architecture pattern
Pull-to-refresh and infinite scrolling
Search and filtering capabilities
Proper state management
Android Jetpack Compose Component
// Modern Jetpack Compose component with state management
@Composable
fun ProductListScreen (
viewModel: ProductListViewModel = hiltViewModel ()
) {
val uiState by viewModel.uiState. collectAsStateWithLifecycle ()
val searchQuery by viewModel.searchQuery. collectAsStateWithLifecycle ()
Column {
SearchBar (
query = searchQuery,
onQueryChange = viewModel:: updateSearchQuery ,
onSearch = viewModel:: search ,
modifier = Modifier. fillMaxWidth ()
)
LazyColumn (
modifier = Modifier. fillMaxSize (),
contentPadding = PaddingValues ( 16 .dp),
verticalArrangement = Arrangement. spacedBy ( 8 .dp)
) {
items (
items = uiState.products,
key = { it.id }
) { product ->
ProductCard (
product = product,
onClick = { viewModel. selectProduct (product) },
modifier = Modifier
. fillMaxWidth ()
. animateItemPlacement ()
)
}
if (uiState.isLoading) {
item {
Box (
modifier = Modifier. fillMaxWidth (),
contentAlignment = Alignment.Center
) {
CircularProgressIndicator ()
}
}
}
}
}
}
// ViewModel with proper lifecycle management
@HiltViewModel
class ProductListViewModel @Inject constructor (
private val productRepository: ProductRepository
) : ViewModel () {
private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow ( ProductListUiState ())
val uiState: StateFlow < ProductListUiState > = _uiState. asStateFlow ()
private val _searchQuery = MutableStateFlow ( "" )
val searchQuery: StateFlow < String > = _searchQuery. asStateFlow ()
init {
loadProducts ()
observeSearchQuery ()
}
private fun loadProducts () {
viewModelScope. launch {
_uiState. update { it. copy (isLoading = true ) }
try {
val products = productRepository. getProducts ()
_uiState. update {
it. copy (
products = products,
isLoading = false
)
}
} catch (exception: Exception ) {
_uiState. update {
it. copy (
isLoading = false ,
errorMessage = exception.message
)
}
}
}
}
fun updateSearchQuery (query: String ) {
_searchQuery. value = query
}
private fun observeSearchQuery () {
searchQuery
. debounce ( 300 )
. onEach { query ->
filterProducts (query)
}
. launchIn (viewModelScope)
}
}
The Android implementation showcases:
Modern Jetpack Compose UI
Hilt dependency injection
StateFlow for reactive state management
Debounced search with coroutines
Proper lifecycle handling
