Project Overview Template

This project is a modern Android application built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, following a Clean Architecture approach. The architecture emphasizes separation of concerns, modular code organization, and use of Android best practices (MVVM, dependency injection with Hilt, etc.) to create a scalable and maintainable codebase.

Project Structure

The project is organized into multiple Gradle modules to enforce clear layering and feature separation:

ProjectName/
├── app/                   - Android app module (application entry point, UI composition, navigation)
├── domain/                - Domain layer (business logic: use cases, domain models, repository interfaces)
├── data/                  - Data layer (implementation of repositories, network services, database access)
├── core/                  - Core utilities (common code such as UI theming, extensions, constants) *optional*
├── feature_login/         - Feature module: Login (UI screens and ViewModel for user authentication)
├── feature_dashboard/     - Feature module: Dashboard (UI and logic for the dashboard feature)
└── buildSrc/              - Build script module (Gradle Kotlin DSL for dependency versions and build logic)

Each feature of the app (e.g., login, dashboard, etc.) can be implemented in its own module (like feature_login, feature_dashboard above), which depends on the core, domain, and data modules. This modular structure improves encapsulation and build times, and makes it easier to scale the codebase.

Key Patterns & Concepts

1. Clean Architecture (Layered Architecture): The codebase is divided into layers (presentation, domain, data) to separate concerns:

   • Presentation layer (UI): Contains Android-specific code, Jetpack Compose UI, ViewModels. Depends on the domain layer.

   • Domain layer: Contains enterprise logic, use case classes, and domain models. This layer is independent of any Android framework or library.
