Clean iOS Architecture pt.5: MVC, MVVM, and MVP (UI Design Patterns)

In this video, we're going to explore the main differences between the MVC, MVVM, and MVP design patterns.

We’ll start with a quick recap of the MVC, MVVM and MVP history and move to modern days where we’ll explore ideas on how we can apply those patterns in iOS applications with UIKit. Finally, we’ll discuss why none of those acronyms can be considered a software architecture, but just UI design patterns.

Thanks, I think this is one of the clearest tutorials on the web which explains these patterns and how are applied to the iOS platform. Really liked to see how the original MVC is different from the Apple implementation and how all those patterns are very similar between them :)

[michaelAckerman]

Took me a long time to understand what he was talking about here, but now I really appreciate it.

[irjayjay]

Thank you, so many crappy tutorials out there that are poorly written or recorded. Yours was the best!

[guindows]

The best explanation ever. Direct, talking not only about the views, but included the other parts of the application as well (networking, parsing routing...), which most of other videos don't even mention about it, and very good and clear graphics. Well done mate. Thank you.

[swiftandtips]

Wow, your explanation of those three patterns is amazing! Thank you so much! 👏🏼

[olivianumberfan]

I thank you for your clear and simple explanation. job! Not a second wasted on fluff just the good stuff!

[MrVipulLal]

Great stuff, mate. Clear, concise and comprehensive! Kudos

[abdallashawkyabdo]

perfect explanation, especially you mentioned the problem of MVC from the beginning of its evolution :)

[mnesvat]

One of the best and cleanest explanation thanks

[Maw]

Best tutorial on this topic I have found by far

[AmanKumar-hrdc]

Very nice
At last, I finally understood these design patterns and the difference between MVC and MVVM
Thank you so

[devarajn]

Great video to understand these patterns, thank you. Can we have PDF document with each of these design pattern's diagrams?
For those who are looking for diagrams, check video on timings below.(Alert: but make sure you go through video, Since all these patterns doesn't concern about database operation, networking etc. they can be put in Model or Controller based on your convenience )
MVC : 7:43
MVVM: 9:54
MVP : 12:19
MVC, MVVM with UIKit : 13:32
MVP with UIKit : 14:20

[kampolovna]

very nice and concise explanation, thank you for the video!

[quickfingers]

This is really great. Do you have an example of this, with all the layers you have (networking, routing, parsing, rendering..)?

[HashemRC]

I'm wondering why after one year I'm finding your tutorials and website?! great content and descriptions.

[Tobool]

Hello, thanks for this new video. One comment that I think should be added is to explain why people keep implementing MVVM though it looks like MVC+boilerplate - because VM doesn’t depend on UIKit and it is easier to test.

[mohamednidhalmrad]

thanks a lot. it's very nice video. can you please explain the other design pattern clean swift and VIPER?

[lifethreesixtydegree]

business logic is good to have with a model in the case of MVVM? isn't should be with viewModel? Eg. Showing a specific date format based business requirement totally should be calculated by ViewModel not by the model. correct me if I am wrong.

[Feliprito]

Hey Caio, thank you for all the tips. I was stuck in MVC (apple) and no matter how I was separating things, one layer was always doing too much as you've said. Now I'll have another paths to go :) Thanks mate. (PS: Você é brasileiro? Deu pra sentir pelo sotaque... Um abraço cara! :D)

[HINDISE_ENGLISHTAK]

Thanks for the video, As you explain MVC, MVP MVVM and VIPER are UI Design Pattern then what is Arachtechtural Pattern in iOS?
