🧱 Architecture

The design of CoinWatch follows a few key principles:

  1. Unidirectional Data Flow (UDF) - State flows in one direction, and events that modify the data flow in the opposite direction.
  2. Single Source of Truth (SSOT) - The SSOT is the owner of data, and only the SSOT can modify or mutate it.
  3. Drive UI from immutable data models - App data is contained within persistent data models and drives UI components.

A high-level overview of the app's architecture is displayed below. The architecture follows Google's official architecture guidance.

🧬 Testing

To facilitate testing of the app, CoinWatch uses the following:

  • JUnit for local tests
  • Jetpack Compose testing APIs for instrumented tests
  • Truth for assertions
  • MockK for mocks
