# clean-architecture-swiftui

> Sample SwiftUI app demonstrating Clean Architecture with modern Swift patterns

An open-source reference project by Alexey Naumov illustrating how to implement Clean Architecture in SwiftUI applications. It demonstrates clear separation of concerns across presentation, business logic, and data layers using modern Apple tooling like SwiftData, async/await, and Swift Testing.

- Centralized AppState acting as a single source of truth
- Native dependency injection using SwiftUI Environment
- Data persistence powered by SwiftData
- Networking layer built using async/await
- Programmatic navigation supporting deep linking
- Unit and UI test coverage with Swift Testing and ViewInspector
