This article serves as a guide to help you set up an example project that demonstrates the use of dependency injection with Swinject in the MVVM architecture while leveraging RxSwift. By following these steps, you will be able to effortlessly integrate these concepts into your own projects.

Requirements

• Xcode 8.0 or later
• A GitHub personal access token

Setup Instructions

To get started with RxGitHub, follow these essential steps:

1. Download the source code or clone the repository from the provided GitHub link.
2. Get a free personal access token from GitHub.
3. Create a Swift file named Keys.swift within the RxGithub folder in your project. Use the following code template and ensure to replace the string TOKEN with your personal access token.

import Foundation

enum Keys {
    static let GitHubAccessToken = "TOKEN"
}

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of your application as a restaurant. In this analogy, the Keys.swift file acts like the menu that lists the special ingredients you can use in your dishes (in this case, your APIs). Instead of the chef constantly needing to ask the owner (that’s you!) for the recipe (access tokens) each time they want to prepare a meal, they look at the menu. This configuration simplifies the process and keeps the meals consistent, just as defining a keys file keeps your access tokens tidy and reusable across your code.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues while setting up the project, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have correctly replaced the TOKEN in Keys.swift with your actual GitHub personal access token.
• Verify that you’re using Xcode 8.0 or later. Older versions may not support certain features or libraries.
• Check if all required dependencies are properly integrated into your project. Use Swinject documentation for guidance.
