ZeroWasteFriendly

Your friend for zero waste life

How it looks like

What is it

My second mature project. The app is to educate, help and motivate user to use Zero/Less waste ideology in everyday life.

The app has three main goals:

• educate about Zero Waste way of life,
• through gamification model motivate user to be more friendly for our earth :),
• eco-map will show nearby places which support zero waste strategies.

Technical goals:

• used Clean Swift software architecture

• coding best practices and SOLID principles

• systematic code review

• all stages approved by mentor

• all critical parts of application covered by unit tests with use of Bitrise CI

Prototype stage:

• prototype interactive presentation can be found here

Coding stage:

• initial setup of project, add .gitignore
• setup bundler, cocoapods
• add SwiftLint, R.swift, lottie, Quick, Nimble pods
• create predefined template files for Clean Swift project
• add Ecomap scene
• add ActivityTiles scene
• add AcitivityInfo scene
• add ActivityStats scene
• add Library scene
• add UserAccount scene
• add ...

What new I've learned

• UITabBar

• Localization

• Custom fonts, colors, icons

• Xcode File Templates

• XCTest

• CloudKit

• MapKit

• UI Animations

• TouchID/FaceID

• Keychain

• Push notifications

What is needed

• Xcode 11.3 with iOS SDK (13.2)

• Bundler

• CocoaPods 1.8.4

What was really helpful

• Clean Swift - clean architecture

• Bundler - makes sure Ruby applications run the same code on every machine

• Cocoapods - cocoa dependency manager

• SwiftLint - enforce Swift style and conventions

• R.swift - strong typed, autocompleted resources

• Lottie-ios - library for Android and iOS that natively renders vector based animations

• Quick - behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C

• Nimble - express the expected outcomes of Swift or Objective-C expressions

• Gifski - converts videos to GIF animations

• Typora - a truly minimal markdown editor

• JetBrains - a typeface for developers

Clean Swift Project Templates

If you want to try creating your own project using Clean Swift guidelines, there is a set of custom templates added in Templates/CleanSwift folder.

Just copy it to your /Users/<username>/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File\ Templates folder and use it as you like.

• Scene - creates set of 7 files to use for your scene - use it for every new scene,

• SceneSupport - creates set of 16 files with predefined functionalities like presenting spinner, presenting alert, networking files, etc - use it once per project,

• UnitTestsXC - creates set of 8 files needed to test your scene using XCTest (fake files included) - use it for every scene,

• UnitTestsXCSupport - creates set of 5 files to support tests for your scene - use it once per project tests module
