🧬 Android DataBinding kit for notifying data changes from Model layers to UI layers. <br>
You can notify data changes to UI layers without backing properties, and reactive programming models such as LiveData and StateFlow.
</p>

### Gradle
Add the dependency below to your **module**'s `build.gradle` file:
```gradle
dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.skydoves:bindables:1.2.0")
}
```

## Setup DataBinding
If you already use `DataBinding` in your project, you can skip this step. Add below on your `build.gradle` and make sure to use `DataBinding` in your project.
```gradle
plugins {
    ..
    id('kotlin-kapt')
}

android {
  ..
  buildFeatures {
      dataBinding = true
  }
}
```

## BindingActivity

`BindingActivity` is a base class for Activities that wish to bind content layout with `DataBindingUtil`. It provides a `binding` property that extends `ViewDataBinding` from abstract information. The `binding` property will be initialized lazily but ensures to be initialized before being called `super.onCreate` in Activities. So we don't need to inflate layouts, setContentView, and initialize a binding property manually.

```kotlin
class MainActivity : BindingActivity<ActivityMainBinding>(R.layout.activity_main) {

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

binding.vm = viewModel // we can access a `binding` property.

// Base classes provide `binding` scope that has a receiver of the binding property.
  // So we don't need to use `with (binding) ...` block anymore.
   binding {
      lifecycleOwner = this@MainActivity
      adapter = PokemonAdapter()
      vm = viewModel
    }
  }
}
```

### Extending BindingActivity
If you want to extend `BindingActivity` for designing your own base class, you can extend like the below.

```kotlin
abstract class BaseBindingActivity<T : ViewDataBinding> constructor(
  @LayoutRes val contentLayoutId: Int
) : BindingActivity<T>(contentLayoutId) {
  
  // .. //  
}
```

## BindingFragment
The concept of the `BindingFragment` is not much different from the `BindingActivity`. It ensures the `binding` property to be initialized in `onCreateView`.

```kotlin
class HomeFragment : BindingFragment<FragmentHomeBinding>(R.layout.fragment_home) {

private val viewModel: MainViewModel by viewModels()

override fun onCreateView(
    inflater: LayoutInflater,
    container: ViewGroup?,
    savedInstanceState: Bundle?
  ): View {
    super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState) // we should call `super.onCreateView`.
    return binding {
      adapter = PosterAdapter()
      vm = viewModel
    }.root
  }
}
```

### Extending BindingFragment
If you want to extend `BindingFragment` for designing your own base class, you can extend like the below.

```kotlin
abstract class BaseBindingFragment<T : ViewDataBinding> constructor(
  @LayoutRes val contentLayoutId: Int
) : BindingFragment<T>(contentLayoutId) {
 
  // .. //
}
```

## BindingViewModel
`BindingViewModel` provides a way in which UI can be notified of changes by the Model layers.

### bindingProperty
`bindingProperty` notifies a specific has changed and it can be observed in UI layers. The getter for the property that changes should be marked with `@get:Bindable`.

```kotlin
class MainViewModel : BindingViewModel() {

@get:Bindable
  var isLoading: Boolean by bindingProperty(false)
    private set // we can prevent access to the setter from outsides.

@get:Bindable
  var toastMessage: String? by bindingProperty(null) // two-way binding.

fun fetchFromNetwork() {
    isLoading = true

// ... //
  }
}
```
In our XML layout, the changes of properties value will be notified to DataBinding automatically whenever we change the value.
```xml
<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progress"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:gone="@{!vm.loading}"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
```

### notifyPropertyChanged
we can customize setters of general properties for notifying data changes to UI layers using `@get:Bindable` annotation and `notifyPropertyChanged()` in the `BindingViewModel`.

```kotlin
@get:Bindable
var message: String? = null
  set(value) {
    field = value
    // .. do something.. //
    notifyPropertyChanged(::message) // notify data changes to UI layers. (DataBinding)
  }
```

### Two-way binding
We can implement two-way binding properties using the `bindingProperty`. Here is a representative example of the two-way binding using `TextView` and `EditText`.

```kotlin
class MainViewModel : BindingViewModel() {
  // This is a two-way binding property because we don't set the setter as privately.
  @get:Bindable
  var editText: String? by bindingProperty(null)
}
```
Here is an XML layout. The text will be changed whenever the `viewModel.editText` is changed.
```xml
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
  android:id="@+id/textView"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="@{viewModel.editText}" />

<EditText
  android:id="@+id/editText"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
```
In your Activity or Fragment, we can set the `viewModel.editText` value whenever the `EditText`'s input is changed. We can implement this another way using `inversebindingadapter`.
```kotlin
binding.editText.addTextChangedListener {
  vm.editText = it.toString()
}
```

### Binding functions
We can implement bindable functions using `@Bindable` annotation and `notifyPropertyChanged()` in the `BindingViewModel`. And the `@Bindable` annotated method's name must start with `get`.

```kotlin
class MainViewModel : BindingViewModel() {
  @Bindable
  fun getFetchedString(): String {
    return usecase.getFetchedData()
  }

fun fetchDataAndNotifyChaged() {
    usecase.fetchDataFromNetowrk()
    notifyPropertyChanged(::getFetchedString)
  }
}
```
Whenever we call `notifyPropertyChanged(::getFetchedData)`, `getFetchedString()` will be called and the UI layer will get the updated data. 
```xml
android:text="@{viewModel.fetchedData}"
```

### Binding Flow
We can create a binding property from `Flow` using `@get:Bindable` and `asBindingProperty`. UI layers will get newly collected data from the `Flow` or `StateFlow` on the `viewModelScope`. And the property by the `Flow` must be read-only (val), because its value can be changed only by observing the changes of the `Flow`.

```kotlin
class MainViewModel : BindingViewModel() {

private val stateFlow = MutableStateFlow(listOf<Poster>())

@get:Bindable
  val data: List<Poster> by stateFlow.asBindingProperty()

@get:Bindable
  var isLoading: Boolean by bindingProperty(false)
    private set

init {
    viewModelScope.launch {
      stateFlow.emit(getFetchedDataFromNetwork())

// .. //
    }
  }
}
```

### Binding SavedStateHandle
We can create a binding property from `SavedStateHandle` in the `BindingViewModel` using `@get:Bindable` and `asBindingProperty(key: String)`. UI layers will get newly saved data from the `SavedStateHandle` and we can set the value into the `SavedStateHandle` when we just set a value to the property.

```kotlin
@HiltViewModel
class MainViewModel @Inject constructor(
  private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : BindingViewModel() {

@get:Bindable
  var savedPage: Int? by savedStateHandle.asBindingProperty("PAGE")

// .. //
```

## BindingRecyclerViewAdapter
We can create binding properties in the `RecyclerView.Adapter` using the `BindingRecyclerViewAdapter`. In the below example, the `isEmpty` property is observable in the XML layout. And we can notify value changes to DataBinding using `notifyPropertyChanged`.

```kotlin
class PosterAdapter : BindingRecyclerViewAdapter<PosterAdapter.PosterViewHolder>() {

private val items = mutableListOf<Poster>()

@get:Bindable
  val isEmpty: Boolean
    get() = items.isEmpty()

fun addPosterList(list: List<Poster>) {
    items.clear()
    items.addAll(list)
    notifyDataSetChanged()
    notifyPropertyChanged(::isEmpty)
  }
}
```
In the below example, we can make the `placeholder` being gone when the adapter's item list is empty or loading data.

```xml
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
    android:id="@+id/placeholder"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/empty"
    app:gone="@{!adapter.empty || viewModel.loading}" />
```

## BindingModel
We can use binding properties in our own classes via extending the `BindingModel`.

```kotlin
class PosterUseCase : BindingModel() {

@get:Bindable
  var message: String? by bindingProperty(null)
    private set

init {
    message = getMessageFromNetwork()
  }
}
```
