KDB

Kotlin Databind library was made as an alternative to the Android Databind Library, this was constructed to be used with LiveData, so no changes to your ViewModel/Presenter is required to use this.

This library was made using extension function, since there is no code generation, no more hunting through a log to find a error in a 1000 errors log.

There are 4 libaries that you can add to your project

Migrating from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0

Due to Jcenter shutdown, the KDB project’s maven group id was previously com.psato.kdbcore and is now dev.kdblib. Please check your configuration as shown below.

// Add Maven Central to your repositories if needed
repositories {
    mavenCentral()    
}

One Way Binding

class QueryFragment : BaseFragment(), Bindable {

and just call the bind method

queryViewModelArc.showLoading.bind { loadinLayout.present = it }

Two Way Binding

implementation 'dev.kdblib:twowaybind:2.0.0'

To use just add the interface Bindable to your class

class QueryFragment : BaseFragment(), TwoWayBindable {

queryViewModelArc.queryValue.twoWayBind(queryEditText.bindableText)

and to listem to update on the LiveData on your ViewModel implement the interface LiveDataUpdateListener

class QueryViewModelArc
constructor(private val searchShows: SearchShows) : 
    ViewModel(), LiveDataUpdateListener {

and to listem to updates call the addUpdateListener method
