This is an example project to demonstrate dependency injection and Swinject in MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture with ReactiveCocoa. The app asynchronously searches, downloads and displays images obtained from Pixabay via its API.

• Xcode 8.0 or later
• Carthage 0.17.2 or later
• Pixabay API key

(Xcode 7 version with Swift 2.2 is here)

1. Download the source code or clone the repository.
2. Run carthage bootstrap --no-use-binaries --platform iOS.
3. Get a free API key from Pixabay. It is displayed in the API documentation page after you log in there.
4. Create a text file named Pixabay.Config.swift with the following content in ExampleModel folder in the project. The string "YOUR_API_KEY" should be replaced with your own key.

Pixabay.Config.swift

extension Pixabay {
    internal struct Config {
        internal static let apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
}

The following blog posts demonstrate step-by-step development of the project.
