This is an iOS app that displays information about cats using TheCatAPI. The app is built using SwiftUI and follows a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach.
The app is built using the following technologies:
- SwiftUI: SwiftUI is a modern framework for building user interfaces in Swift. It provides a declarative syntax for defining UI elements, making it easy to build complex interfaces quickly.
- Combine: Combine is a framework for reactive programming in Swift. It allows developers to easily manage asynchronous data streams and handle events.
- TheCatAPI: TheCatAPI is an open-source API that provides access to a database of cat breeds, images, and more.
- Test-Driven Development: Test-Driven Development (TDD) is an approach to software development that emphasizes writing tests before writing code. This helps ensure that the code is correct and maintainable, and reduces the risk of introducing bugs.
