MVVMssä

MVVM, which stands for Model-View-ViewModel, is an architectural pattern commonly used in software development, particularly for graphical user interfaces. It aims to separate the application's logic into three distinct, interconnected parts. The Model represents the data and business logic of the application. It is responsible for managing the data, retrieving it from sources, and performing operations on it. The View is the user interface that the user interacts with. It is responsible for displaying the data from the Model and sending user input to the ViewModel. The ViewModel acts as an intermediary between the View and the Model. It exposes data from the Model in a format that the View can easily consume, and it handles user input from the View, updating the Model accordingly.

The primary benefit of MVVM is improved testability and maintainability. Because the View and ViewModel are decoupled, the ViewModel can be tested independently of the UI. This separation also makes it easier to modify or replace either the View or the ViewModel without affecting the other. MVVM is frequently implemented using data binding, a mechanism that automatically synchronizes data between the View and the ViewModel. This synchronization reduces the amount of boilerplate code required to update the UI when the data changes and vice versa. This pattern is widely adopted in frameworks like WPF, Xamarin, and increasingly in web development frameworks such as Angular and Vue.js, contributing to more organized and robust application architectures.
