Q: Y do U Refactor?
A: I want to make the API requesting cleaner and more graceful. I want to make code testable (now there is no test).
Q: How do U Refactor?
A: I will try to wrap the API requesting in RAC signal form. I will try to add a VIEW MODEL layer to make the code testable.
Q: Where do U start?
A: API requesting.
Q: Y choose RAC and MVVM?
A: Because I'm learning them - -. OK, fetching DATA from server, showing DATA on screen. Receiving CHANGING from human, syncing DATA back to server. As you can see, DATA and CHANGING is the core (Who's not - -). This is RAC's advantage: hacking DATA and responding to CHANGING. Data-driven APP handle data often. Data from MACHINE and from HUMAN are both random and sloppy, often. If we want to keep the APP robust, we must test with data, all kinds of data. MVVM add a View Model layer between the View/Controller and the Model, which make data handling easier and testable.
Coding-iOS is the official iOS client for Coding.net.
Recently I'm learning ReactiveCocoa and reading some related projects(AshFurrow/C-41, jspahrsummers/GroceryList). I'm totally impressed by FRP's grace and MVVM's modularity. I decide to do some projects to verify my shallow understanding. Y not Coding-iOS?
