Model-View-Intent (MVI) is a reactive architecture pattern that helps to build scalable, predictable, and maintainable UI components in Android applications. It is based on the unidirectional data flow paradigm, where the view sends data or user actions to the model, the model updates its state, and then emits new state to the view, which renders itself accordingly.
MVI consists of three main components:
1. Model: The model represents the data and business logic of the application. It is responsible for processing data, executing business rules and generating new state.
2. View: The view is the user interface of the application. It renders the UI based on the state provided by the model and sends user input or actions to the model for processing.
3. Intent: The intent represents the user's intention to perform an action or change the state of the application. It is responsible for defining the input and output data types of the model and the view.
MVI helps to decouple the components of the application, making it easier to test, maintain and refactor. It also promotes a clear separation of concerns between the UI and data layers, which can improve the user experience and performance of the application.
