Elements

Elements is collection of modular elements for RecyclerView lists, alternative to Google’s Paging library, designed in Kotlin with separation of concerns, modularity and testability in mind.

• Separation of concerns: we split the model component into Sources, and the UI component into Presenters. [docs]
• Simplicity: No need to extend Adapters, ViewHolders or all that Paging lib. boilerplate.
• Reusability: as a result, each Source and Presenter is an independent piece of code that can be reused.
• Modularity: let the adapter accept multiple Sources and Presenters. [docs]
• Testability: a consequence of the above, each component can be independently tested.
• Coordination: let Sources declare dependencies among them, in a CoordinatorLayout.Behavior fashion. [docs]
• Paging: built-in concept of Page. [docs]
• Integration with Arch components: heavy use of LiveData and Lifecycles, extensions for data binding.
• Animations: give Presenterss fine grained control over how to animate each item [docs]
