MVVM architecture pattern for iOS

MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) separates concerns cleanly in iOS apps. Models hold data, Views display UI, and ViewModels mediate between them with business logic and state. Views bind to ViewModel properties using Combine or SwiftUI's property wrappers. ViewModels expose @Published properties that Views observe. This separation makes code testable—ViewModels can be unit tested without UI, and Views become thin presentation layers. I keep ViewModels framework-agnostic, importing only Foundation, not UIKit or SwiftUI. Navigation and coordination logic goes in Coordinators. This architecture scales well from small to large apps while maintaining clear boundaries.
