hi, I have this code in my LoginViewModel https://hastebin.com/ujihufovil.kt and this code in my SignUpViewModel https://hastebin.com/uqilarefif.kt the functionality is duplicated and I’m not sure how to go about making them reusable and minimize the code as much as possible, I do know that validating the pattern checking for empty string and reacting to the results by setting the error message is doing too many things at once and that they should be separated but when I think of separating them I think then of having the same validateEmail (vaildatePassword) methods contain the new functions but still doing the 3 things at once, but now using functions ..how do I make this easier and not so jumbled?

don't use images to share code. It makes it unnecessarily difficult to read

sorry coming right up

Thank you. What you would want to do is make something that only does the validating. Split up deciding if something is valid, and then acting on that information

fine I can easily have this for validating email

class IsEmailValid {
    operator fun invoke(email: String) = PatternsCompat.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches()
}

you wouldn't necessarily need

validateEmail

to be it's own function there

yea I give up 😕

Assuming they are using the same activity you can use a sharedViewModel. Or you can extract to logic out into a delegate
