Model View Controller (MVC) Architecture
MVC is a design model that separates an application into three interacting parts: Model, View, and Controller. This separation allows for better code design and modularization.
- Model: Represents application data and business logic.
- View: Displays data to the user.
- Controller: Processes user input and controls data flow between Model and View.
For Example:
Imagine a mobile weather app. The model stores weather information, the View displays it to the user, and the controller handles user interactions such as updating the displayed location or converting units (e.g. from Celsius to Fahrenheit).
Design Patterns for Mobile Development
Design patterns are reusable solutions to common software development problems. They have had a significant impact on software development, including mobile app development. The implementation of mobile apps has established some proven models and standards to overcome the challenges and limitations of mobile app development.
Most mobile applications were built with low code and were not based on architecture. Mobile app development with the right design patterns can effectively integrate user interfaces with data models and business logic. This will affect the quality of your source code.
