Conduit-Blog-App

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Kotlin including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

See how a Medium.com clone (called Conduit) is built using Kotlin in Android to connect to any other backend from https://realworld.io/.

For more information on how to this works with other backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

I've gone to great lengths to adhere to the latest community styleguides & best practices but had to adapt between the RealWorld specification and general mobile layout of Medium.com.

Development This project has been developed with Android Studio

Concepts This RealWorld app tries to show the following Android concepts:

100% Kotlin Codebase MVVM (Model View ViewModel) Architecture LiveData Kotlin Coroutines Jetpack Navigation Architecture Architecture The project follows the general MVVM structure without any specifics.

There are two modules in the project

app - The UI of the app. The main project that forms the APK api - The REST API consumption library. Pure JVM library not Android-specific Other Backends Obviously, this RealWorld app is a frontend app. But it can connect to all backends implementing the RealWorld spec and API. To test you own backend implementation just change the URL in the settings dialog.

Testing This project has been manually tested against

Emulator Pixel 2 Android SDK 23 Devices Samsung S8 Android 8.0.0 Automated tests The project contains an example e2e test to illustrate an end-to-end test case.
