[swift-users] Applying MVC pattern to iOS Swift apps

[Adrian Zubarev]

Well you are right this is not the right place for such questions, because this mailing list is about pure Swift topics. 

---- 
Think about MVC as MVVM where M = M, V = V and C = VM. Don't get confused by the `Controller` suffix, especially there is no `ViewController` suffix, because it always is and should be view name + controller suffix. That said, a view(controller) is a view and not a ViewModel. For navigation one could extend MVVM with a C for Coordinator (MVVM-C). I just said that you habe to think of MVC as MVVM. If you now apply the extended MVVM-C version backwards you'll get MVC-C, latter naming is confusing right!? ^^

Usually AppDelegate is your main object in your project, except if you need a custom subclass of UIApplication. MVVM-C is a good bullet proof arch. If you try to rethink everything that way you'll quickly notice how you can/should link your objects in such a project. Furthermore you should seperate your business logic completely from everything else, so that is kinda modular. This will help you testing your app and logic better and mantain a good app arch. 

Hopefully I could help you a little.

Does it make better sense to include them in the ViewController most closely associated with their actions or are they better placed in a separate module? In particular, I am trying to avoid breaking the rule regarding never having the V communicate directly with the M.
