Kingfisher is a powerful library for downloading and caching images in your apps. It helps you load images from the web quickly and efficiently. Here are the key benefits:
- It downloads images asynchronously and caches them for faster access later.
- You can customize how images are processed, such as resizing or adding effects.
- It supports both UIKit and SwiftUI, making it versatile for different types of apps.
- It includes features like placeholders, indicators, and transition animations while loading images.
- You can control cache behavior, including expiration dates and size limits.

Using Kingfisher simplifies your code and improves your app's performance when handling images. For example, you can set an image to an `UIImageView` with just a few lines of code, and it will handle the downloading and caching automatically. This makes your app run smoother and saves you time in development.

#swift #architecture #composition #modularity #swiftui #testability #uikit

The Composable Architecture (TCA) is a library that helps you build apps in a consistent and understandable way. Here’s what it does and how it benefits you TCA helps you manage your app's state using simple value types, making it easy to share state across different screens.
- **Composition** TCA makes it easy to handle interactions with the outside world, like API requests, in a testable and understandable way.
- **Testing** It provides a simple API with fewer concepts, making it easier to use.

Using TCA, you can build features in a structured way, define clear state and actions, and easily test your app's logic. This makes your code more maintainable, testable, and scalable.

- Perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using methods like `insert`, `update`, `save`, and `delete`.

### Query Interface
- GRDB provides a query interface that lets you write pure Swift instead of SQL.
- You can filter, order, limit, and join records using chainable methods.
- It supports associations and joins.

### Records
- Records are your application objects that can initialize themselves from rows.
- You can define record types using protocols like `FetchableRecord`, `TableRecord`, and `PersistableRecord`.
- Records can be compared against other records or previous versions to avoid unnecessary updates.

### Error Handling
- GRDB throws `DatabaseError` and `RecordError` for various issues.
- It also uses fatal errors to indicate programmer errors or misuses.
- You can configure error logging and tracing to monitor database operations.

### Encryption
