MVI
"MVI" stands for Model-View-Intent, and is an architectural pattern used in Android development. This pattern introduces a unidirectional data flow which makes it easier to understand an app's state at any given point in time. In the MVI pattern, the Intent represents an intention or desire to perform an action, often triggered by user inputs. The View is responsible for rendering the UI and emitting intents. The Model, on the other hand, represents the state of the app and reacts to intents by changing its state. It's the Model's responsibility to respond to each Intent with a resulting new state. Once a new state is created, it is published back to the View. This clear separation and single direction of data and event flow can help in managing side-effects and handling asynchronous actions.
