xamarin-forms-clean
Sample Xamarin.Forms application using Clean Architecture. Inspired in the done work by Fernando Cejas
Used NuGet Packages
sqlite-net-pcl: Nice ORM to store data with SQLite
Xam.Plugin.Connectivity: Plugin to detect network state
System.Reactive.Linq: Rx.NET plugin
Clean Architecture
You can review the concepts of Clean Architecture in this site.
Principles
1. Independent of Frameworks. The architecture does not depend on the existence of some library of feature laden software. This allows you to use such frameworks as tools, rather than having to cram your system into their limited constraints.
2. Testable. The business rules can be tested without the UI, Database, Web Server, or any other external element.
3. Independent of UI. The UI can change easily, without changing the rest of the system. A Web UI could be replaced with a console UI, for example, without changing the business rules.
4. Independent of Database. You can swap out Oracle or SQL Server, for Mongo, BigTable, CouchDB, or something else. Your business rules are not bound to the database.
5. Independent of any external agency. In fact your business rules simply don’t know anything at all about the outside world.
Code sample
Observable class creation from API call.
return Observable.Create<List<CityEntity>>((emitter) =>
{
var json = GetAllCitiesFromApi();
if (json != null)
{
emitter.OnNext(CityEntitySerializer.FromJson(json));
emitter.OnCompleted();
}
else
{
emitter.OnError(new Exception("Cities were not found"));
}
});
Transformation from entity to a model class using a mapper
Mapper
public class CityMapper : BaseMapper<City, CityEntity>
{
public override City Transform(CityEntity entity)
{
var city = new City
{
Image = entity.ImageLink,
Name = entity.Name
};
return city;
}
}
Transform a list of entities into a list of model class
dataSource.Cities().Select(x => Mapper.TransformList(x));
Usecase execution
public void Execute(IObserver<T> observer, P param)
{
if (observer != null)
{
Task.Run(() =>
{
IObservable<T> observable = BuildUseCaseObservable(param);
AddDisposable(observable.SubscribeSafe(observer));
});
}
}
