Model View View Model (MVVM) Architecture
MVVM is a design model widely used in mobile development, especially in frameworks like Android’s Jetpack. Its purpose is to separate the application into three parts: Model, View, and ViewModel.
- Model: Represents data and business logic.
- View: Represents the user interface.
- ViewModel: Acts as an interface between the Model and the View, which contains the reference logic.
For Example:
In an e-commerce application, the Model contains product data, the View displays product information, and the ViewModel manages interactions, such as adding items to a cart.
Design Patterns for Mobile Development
Design patterns are reusable solutions to common software development problems. They have had a significant impact on software development, including mobile app development. The implementation of mobile apps has established some proven models and standards to overcome the challenges and limitations of mobile app development.
Most mobile applications were built with low code and were not based on architecture. Mobile app development with the right design patterns can effectively integrate user interfaces with data models and business logic. This will affect the quality of your source code.
