Networking calls still in the controller

In the beginning of the video Amit said that networking calls shouldn't be made from the controller. Until the end of the video it was still there, but Amit ended it saying that the controller was compliant to MVVM. I found it confusing.

Hello,

Amit was mostly showing an example of how to do the MVVM, and he did suggest that networking call logic shouldn't be placed in the controller. He did not actually did this himself, but hinted as to implement this yourself if you ever run into this scenario.

One thing you can do is create a different file where all the networking calls are made out of and pass the results somewhere else. The controller can invoke a call and receive an answer, but it should not handle all the logics of it.
