📖 What I Learned

Working on Cookbook AI helped me enhance my skills in multiple areas of iOS development:

MVVM Architecture

Implemented the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture for better code structure, separation of concerns, and maintainability. This architectural pattern improved how data flows between the UI and backend services.

Enums for Clean Code

Used enums extensively to handle various states and cases throughout the application, making the codebase more organized, type-safe, and scalable.

Unit and UI Testing

Implemented thorough testing for both individual components and the overall user interface. This includes writing unit tests for the business logic as well as UI tests to ensure a smooth user experience.

Dependency Injection

Learned the best practices for managing dependencies in Swift, making the code more modular, testable, and easier to refactor.

Asynchronous Programming with Swift's async/await

Utilized async/await patterns for making API calls and interacting with Firebase, improving code readability and error handling.

SwiftUI

Built an intuitive and interactive UI using SwiftUI, including custom views and seamless animations to enhance user experience.

🛠️ Technologies Used

  • Swift
    Utilized for building the iOS application, taking advantage of its robust features and modern syntax.

  • Swift UI
    Used the modern Swift UI Framework for building appealing user interface.

  • Core ML
    Converted the trained model to Core ML for efficient detection on iphone.

  • KingFisher
    for image loading and caching.

  • Firebase SDK
    Employed for user authentication, real-time data storage (Firestore), and analytics to enhance the app experience.

🛠️ API and other stuff Used

  • Spooncular API
    for fetching recipe details and the recipe data.
