What is MVI?

MVI stands for Model-View-Intent. It is a reactive architectural pattern for building user interfaces, commonly used in Android and other platforms. The Model represents the application's state, the View displays the state, and the Intent represents the user's intention to change the state. The pattern promotes unidirectional data flow, making applications more predictable and testable. It is often implemented using reactive streams (e.g., RxJava, Kotlin Flows) to handle asynchronous events and state updates.
