🏗️ Architecture

Passionfy is designed with a modern MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern enhanced by Clean Architecture principles. This ensures a scalable, maintainable, and testable application structure while delivering an exceptional user experience.

MVVM + Clean Architecture

MVVM:

• Model: Represents the app’s core data structures, such as User, Chat, and ChatMessage.
• View: Composed of SwiftUI views like UserProfileView, ExploreView, and ChatDetailView, responsible for presenting the user interface.
• ViewModel: Acts as the bridge between the View and the business logic. The ViewModel transforms raw data into a format suitable for display and interacts with use cases to fetch and process data.

Clean Architecture Layers:

1. Use Case Layer:

   • Contains the app’s core business logic, encapsulating user actions such as creating a profile, searching for matches, swiping, and chatting.
   • Examples: CreateChatUseCase, GetUserMatchesUseCase, and GetSuggestionsUseCase.

2. Repository Layer:

   • Abstracts data-fetching and manipulation logic, providing a unified API for accessing user profiles, matches, and chats.
   • Examples: UserRepository, MessagingRepository, and AuthenticationRepository.
   • Interacts with external services like Firebase through well-defined interfaces, ensuring loose coupling.

3. Data Source Layer:

   • Manages communication with external services such as Firebase, handling tasks like reading and writing data.
   • Examples: UserMatchDataSource and AuthenticationDataSource.
   • Abstracts Firebase operations to simplify testing and scalability.

SwiftUI + Combine

Passionfy takes full advantage of SwiftUI for its declarative UI framework, enabling dynamic and reactive interfaces. Paired with Combine, it ensures seamless state management and real-time updates, particularly for features like:

• User profile updates.
• Live chat functionality.
• Dynamic match recommendations and swiping interactions.

This combination guarantees a smooth and interactive user experience.

Inversion of Control (IoC) and Factory Pattern

Passionfy employs an IoC (Inversion of Control) container along with the Factory design pattern for:

• Managing dependency injection.
• Simplifying class interactions by injecting required services (repositories, use cases, etc.) where needed.
• Enhancing modularity and testability, making the app flexible for future growth.

Firebase Integration

Passionfy leverages Firebase for its backend, offering real-time synchronization, scalability, and secure data management. All Firebase interactions are abstracted through repositories and data sources, ensuring the app is maintainable and testable.

• Firestore: A NoSQL database for storing user profiles, chats, matches, and reports. Enables real-time updates for chat and swipe interactions.
• Firebase Authentication: Provides secure login using OTP (One-Time Password) for a simple and safe sign-in experience.
• Firebase Storage: Manages user-uploaded profile pictures, ensuring efficient and reliable image handling.

⚙️ Technologies Used

Core Frameworks and Libraries

• SwiftUI: A declarative framework for building the app's responsive and elegant user interface.
• Combine: Powers reactive programming and state management, ensuring real-time data binding between the UI and backend.
• Firebase: Backend as a Service (BaaS) for real-time data storage, authentication, and media handling.

Supporting Libraries

• Kingfisher: Efficiently downloads and caches user profile images.
• SwipeActions: Enhances UX with intuitive swipe gestures for user interactions, like reporting or blocking profiles.

🛠️ Why This Architecture?

• Scalability: Clean separation of concerns allows new features to be added with minimal impact on existing functionality.
• Maintainability: Decoupled components make debugging and updating code straightforward.
• Testability: Abstracted layers (repositories and data sources) make unit and integration testing easier.

By combining modern tools, best practices, and a user-centric approach, Passionfy delivers not just a dating app, but a secure, scalable, and delightful space for creating meaningful connections. 🌟
