I would suggest adding only one screen for search and display all search results in one place (for now: Movies and shows. Later we can display actors and episodes as well)

So do you think I should add a tab in home?

[moallemi]

Yes, That would be great. And what do you think of this sketch?

Hi Mr. @moallemi. TMDB has three API for search, movie, tv shows and multi search. In multi search API it gives me dynamic list of movie or show or person (actor). what would you suggest to parse these dynamic data? it must be handled in API layer or datasource layer? It's better to have another response parser for it or just return Any type and handle this mapping inside datasource?

Dear @hadi-norouzi,

I'd suggest adding a separate search everywhere:

1. In :data:api:tmdb -> TmdbSearchService
2. In :data:model, define new data type

   sealed class SearchResult {
   data class Video(val item videoThumbnail: VideoThumbnail)
   // later we can add other search result types
   // data class Actor(val item actor) 
   }

3. Then new :data:tmdb-search module, in here we return list of a new model called so we need a new mapper to map the tmdb search result to our custom SearchResult data type then we will have:

   interface TmdbSearchRepository {
   fun searchStream(query: String): Flow<PagingData<SearchResult>>
   }

4. Then new :domain:tmdb-search in domain and so on

Let me know if you have any questions.
