# PeopleInSpace

Minimal **Kotlin Multiplatform** project using Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI

It makes use of basic API (http://open-notify.org/Open-Notify-API/People-In-Space/) to show list of people currently in
space (inspired by https://kousenit.org/2019/12/19/a-few-astronomical-examples-in-kotlin/)!  The list is shown on Android
using **Jetpack Compose** and on iOS using **SwiftUI**

**Note**: You need to use Android Studio v4.0 (currently on Canary 6).  Have tested on XCode v11.3


The following is pretty much all the code used (along with gradle files/resources etc).  I did say it was *minimal*!!


### iOS SwiftUI Code

```swift
struct ContentView: View {
    @ObservedObject var peopleInSpaceViewModel = PeopleInSpaceViewModel(repository: PeopleInSpaceRepository())

    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List(peopleInSpaceViewModel.people, id: \.name) { person in
                PersonView(person: person)
            }
            .navigationBarTitle(Text("PeopleInSpace"), displayMode: .large)
            .onAppear(perform: {
                self.peopleInSpaceViewModel.fetch()
            })
        }
    }
}

struct PersonView : View {
    var person: Assignment

    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            VStack(alignment: .leading) {
                Text(person.name).font(.headline)
                Text(person.craft).font(.subheadline)
            }
        }
    }
```

### iOS Swift ViewModel

```swift
class PeopleInSpaceViewModel: ObservableObject {
    @Published var people = [Assignment]()

    private let repository: PeopleInSpaceRepository
    init(repository: PeopleInSpaceRepository) {
        self.repository = repository
    }
    
    func fetch() {
        repository.fetchPeople(success: { data in
            self.people = data
        })
    }
}
```



### Android Jetpack Compose code

```kotlin
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val peopleInSpaceViewModel: PeopleInSpaceViewModel by viewModel()

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            mainLayout(peopleInSpaceViewModel)
        }
    }
}

@Composable
fun mainLayout(peopleInSpaceViewModel: PeopleInSpaceViewModel) {
    MaterialTheme {
        val people = +observe(peopleInSpaceViewModel.peopleInSpace)
        Column {
            people?.forEach { person ->
                Row(person)
            }
        }
    }
}


@Composable
fun Row(person: Assignment) {
    Padding(16.dp) {
        Text(text = "${person.name} (${person.craft})")
    }
}
```

### Android Kotlin ViewModel

```kotlin
class PeopleInSpaceViewModel(peopleInSpaceRepository: PeopleInSpaceRepository) : ViewModel() {
    val peopleInSpace = MutableLiveData<List<Assignment>>(emptyList())

    init {
        viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
            val people = peopleInSpaceRepository.fetchPeople()
            peopleInSpace.postValue(people)
        }
    }
}
```


### Shared Kotlin Repository

```kotlin
class PeopleInSpaceRepository {
    private val peopleInSpaceApi = PeopleInSpaceApi()

    suspend fun fetchPeople() : List<Assignment> {
        val result = peopleInSpaceApi.fetchPeople()
        return result.people
    }


    fun fetchPeople(success: (List<Assignment>) -> Unit) {
        GlobalScope.launch(ApplicationDispatcher) {
            success(fetchPeople())
        }
    }
}
```


### Shared Kotlin API Client Code (using **Ktor** and **Kotlinx Serialization** library)

```kotlin
@Serializable
data class AstroResult(val message: String, val number: Int, val people: List<Assignment>)

@Serializable
data class Assignment(val craft: String, val name: String)

class PeopleInSpaceApi {
    private val baseUrl = "http://api.open-notify.org/astros.json"

    private val client by lazy {
        HttpClient() {
            install(JsonFeature) {
                serializer = KotlinxSerializer(Json(JsonConfiguration(strictMode = false)))
            }
        }
    }

    suspend fun fetchPeople(): AstroResult {
        return client.get("$baseUrl")
    }
}
```
