data-remote
Handles data interacting with the network and is later serverd up to the presentation layer through domain object
data-local
Handles persistence of object with Room ORM from.This module is responsible for handling all local related logic and serves up data to and from the presentation layer through domain objects.
With this separation we can easily swap in new or replace the database being used without causeing major ripples across the codebase.
Gets data from api and room and distributes it to the rest of the app
Koin handles dependency injection on components making it easier to reuse
This package contains utility functions like networkresult which are used throughtout the application
contains views that are shown to the user
