MVC/MVVM

"Isolate complexity" - Steve McConnell, Code Complete

• Model: Data, including the means to instantiate from source; in this case it is Firestore NSDictionary.
• ViewModel: Data formed for specific view purposes. Only show data from the model that the view actually needs. Combine and massage fields with presentation logic.
• DocumentStore (aka repository): Data CRUD (create, read, update, delete). This service is injected into the ViewControllers, sets them as its delegate, and tells them when it has updates with documentsDidUpdate().
• DetailViewControllers and TableViewCells: A view with injected ViewModel(s).
• ViewController: Everything else. Use extensions to separate concerns.

Requirements

• iOS 10.3+
• Xcode 9.3
