Documentation: IUISettingsView & IUISettingsViewModel

1. Purpose

This module defines two marker interfaces, IUISettingsView and IUISettingsViewModel, which serve as type identifiers for UI settings-related components within a Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture. These interfaces exist to establish a type hierarchy for UI settings screens, allowing components to be identified, registered, or resolved generically as settings-related views and view models without defining any additional members beyond their base contracts.

---

2. Public Interface

IUISettingsView

• Namespace: DTS.Common.Interface
• Signature: public interface IUISettingsView : IBaseView
• Description: A marker interface for UI settings views. Inherits from IBaseView (defined in DTS.Common.Base). Declares no additional members.

IUISettingsViewModel

• Namespace: DTS.Common.Interface
• Signature: public interface IUISettingsViewModel : IBaseViewModel
• Description: A marker interface for UI settings view models. Inherits from IBaseViewModel (defined in DTS.Common.Base). Declares no additional members.

---

3. Invariants

• IUISettingsView must always be assignable to IBaseView.
• IUISettingsViewModel must always be assignable to IBaseViewModel.
• The actual contracts (properties, methods, events) for these interfaces are defined entirely by their base interfaces (IBaseView and IBaseViewModel), not by these interfaces themselves.
• Unclear from source: The specific invariants enforced by IBaseView and IBaseViewModel cannot be determined without access to DTS.Common.Base.

---

4. Dependencies

This module depends on:

• DTS.Common.Base — provides IBaseView and IBaseViewModel base interfaces.

What depends on this module:

• Unclear from source alone. Consumers would be any concrete view or view model classes implementing IUISettingsView or IUISettingsViewModel, as well as any registration/resolution logic (e.g., dependency injection containers, navigation services) that handles UI settings components by these types.

---

5. Gotchas

• Empty marker interfaces: Both interfaces define no members. All functionality comes from their respective base interfaces. Developers implementing these should consult IBaseView and IBaseViewModel to understand required members.
• Naming collision risk: The namespace DTS.Common.Interface is generic; if other modules use the same namespace, type resolution conflicts could occur.
• Unclear from source: The reason for having separate marker interfaces (rather than using the base interfaces directly) is not documented in the source. This may relate to type discrimination for navigation, DI registration, or feature-specific handling, but this cannot be confirmed without additional context.
