How to find the tasks

We use GitHub issues to manage the tasks. Please find the issues you'd like to contribute in it. welcome contribute and easy are good for first contribution.

Of course, it would be great to send PullRequest which has no issue!

How to contribute

If you find the tasks you want to contribute, please comment in the issue like this to prevent to conflict contribution. We'll reply as soon as possible, but it's unnecessary to wait for our reaction. It's okay to start contribution and send PullRequest!

We've designated these issues as good candidates for easy contribution. You can always fork the repository and send a pull request (on a branch other than master).

Development Environment

Multi module project

We separate the modules for each feature.

Unidirectional data flow(Flux-based) Architecture

Unidirectional data flow(Flux-based) Architecture with Kotlin Coroutines and AndroidX Libraries(LiveData, ViewModel, Room) DataBinding, Dagger and AssistedInejct, Firebase etc.

Groupie

By using Groupie you can simplify the implementation around RecyclerView.

class SpeakerItem @AssistedInject constructor(
    @Assisted val speaker: Speaker, // Inject by AssistedInject
    val navController: NavController // Inject by Dagger
) : BindableItem<ItemSpeakerBinding>() {
    @AssistedInject.Factory
    interface Factory {
        fun create(
            speaker: Speaker
        ): SpeakerItem
    }

    override fun getLayout(): Int = R.layout.item_speaker

    override fun bind(itemBinding: ItemSpeakerBinding, position: Int) {
        itemBinding.speakerText.text = speaker.name
        ...
    }
}

We use AssistedInject for creating item.

    @Inject lateinit var speakerItemFactory: SpeakerItem.Factory
    
...
        val speakerItems = session
            .speakers
            .map { speakerItemFactory.create(it) }
        groupAdapter.update(speakerItems)

Activity/Fragment -> Action Creator

image

Fragments just call Action Creator's method.

class SessionPagesFragment : DaggerFragment() {
    @Inject lateinit var announcementActionCreator: AnnouncementActionCreator
    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
        announcementActionCreator.load()
    }

Action Creator <-> DB / API and Action Creator -> dispatcher

image

Action Creator fetches data from DB / API with Kotlin Coroutines suspend function. And Action Creator dispatches data loaded action and loading state changed actions.

class AnnouncementActionCreator @Inject constructor(
    override val dispatcher: Dispatcher,
    val firestore: Firestore,
    @PageScope val lifecycle: Lifecycle
) : CoroutineScope by lifecycle.coroutineScope,
    ErrorHandler {

    fun load() = launch {
        try {
            dispatcher.dispatch(Action.AnnouncementLoadingStateChanged(LoadingState.LOADING))
            // fetch announcement by Kotlin Coroutines suspend function
            dispatcher.dispatch(Action.AnnouncementLoaded(firestore.getAnnouncements()))
            dispatcher.dispatch(Action.AnnouncementLoadingStateChanged(LoadingState.LOADED))
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            onError(e)
            dispatcher.dispatch(Action.AnnouncementLoadingStateChanged(LoadingState.INITIALIZED))
        }
    }
}

Actions are just data holder class.

sealed class Action {
...
    class AnnouncementLoadingStateChanged(val loadingState: LoadingState) : Action()
    class AnnouncementLoaded(val announcements: List<Announcement>) : Action()
...
}

Dispatcher -> Store

image

Store subscribe dispatcher's action with Kotlin Coroutines channel and transform it to AndroidX LiveData. This store is a ViewModel. But if the store is used by the whole application(ex: UserStore), you can change the store to a singleton.

class AnnouncementStore @Inject constructor(
    dispatcher: Dispatcher
) : ViewModel() {
    val loadingState: LiveData<LoadingState> = dispatcher
        .subscribe<Action.AnnouncementLoadingStateChanged>()
        .map { it.loadingState }
        .toLiveData(LoadingState.LOADING)
    val announcements: LiveData<List<Announcement>> = dispatcher
        .subscribe<Action.AnnouncementLoaded>()
        .map { it.announcements }
        .toLiveData(listOf())
}

Store -> Activity/Fragment

image

In the fragment, we can observe Store's LiveData. You can display the UI with LiveData.

    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
...
        announcementStore.loadingState.changed(viewLifecycleOwner) {
            // apply loading state for progress bar
            progressTimeLatch.loading = it == LoadingState.LOADING
        }
        announcementStore.announcements.changed(viewLifecycleOwner) { announcements ->
            // we can show UI with announcements
        }
...
