FoodShareApp

Independent iOS Mobile Application developed - Food Share using Swift,Firebase,Cocoa pods

Motivation: I wondered about this idea of connecting people for the cause of food :) The purpose of my FoodShare App is to reduce Food wastage & share food with people who need it.

Project was developed in XCode environment using Swift. It was a MVC Architecture based project. Why MVC?

• Loosely coupled modules

• Separation of concerns

  1. User logins/registers using the Signup/login page.
  2. Storing the information of the application in a real time database, Firebase - A Google offering. It was the real time database used for user authentication and storage.
  3. Cocoa pods used: Firebase, Firebase database, FirebaseAuth, SwiftKey
     Why?
      - cocoapods is a dependency manager for Swift & Objective-C projects. It has over 27,000 libraries.
      - cocoapods help in scaling the project.
      Command: $sudo gem install cocoapods;
  4. Food Display based on the location.
     How was this done?
      - MapFramework was used,(MapKitView) available in the X-Code, just drag and drop to the storyboard.
  5. Map feature indicating direction to pick up food from the donor.
