MovieApp is a SwiftUI and Combine-based app that allows users to discover and browse TV shows. Using the power of SwiftUI and Combine, the app fetches and displays TV show data from the TVMaze API. This app showcases how to use modern iOS development tools like SwiftUI for UI and Combine for reactive programming.
Features
Browse TV Shows: Explore a list of popular TV shows available in the API. TV Show Details: View detailed information about each TV show such as summary, image, genres, and rating. SwiftUI: Built entirely using SwiftUI to demonstrate declarative UI development. Combine: Utilizes Combine framework to handle asynchronous data fetching and state management. Screenshots

The MovieApp utilizes a clean and modern SwiftUI architecture combined with the power of Combine for data handling:
Model: Represents the data structure for TV shows. This includes properties like id, name, summary, genres, and rating. View: SwiftUI views are used to build the app’s user interface. The main view contains a list of TV shows, and a detailed view is used to show more information about a selected show. ViewModel: The view model handles the logic for fetching TV show data from the TVMaze API using Combine's Publisher. It manages the state of the UI by using @Observable properties to notify the UI when data is ready or errors occur.
Networking: The APIClient class uses Combine to make network requests to fetch TV show data from https://api.tvmaze.com/shows.
