The app follows modern Android development practices and uses the following architectural components:
- MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel): Separates UI logic from business logic and data handling.
- Repository pattern: Provides a clean abstraction for data access.
- Use cases: Encapsulates business logic for specific actions.
- Hilt: Provides dependency injection for easier testing and modularity.
- Jetpack Compose: Modern declarative UI toolkit for building dynamic and beautiful UIs.
- Retrofit: For making network requests to the NASA API.
- Coil: For image loading and caching.
- Coroutines: For managing asynchronous operations.
- Hilt: For dependency injection.
- Jetpack Compose: For building the UI.
