ImageLoader

Simple image loader in swift

Usage

Import the library

To use it in your project, import the framework.

// Swift
import ImageLoader

General Use cases

• Simply load an image: This will automatically start the loading of the image.

ImageLoader.default.load("https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png") {
    image, error in
    self.imageView.image = image
}

Or use the UIImageView extension:

let imageView = UIImageView.imageView(with: "https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png")
// or
existinImageView.load(with: "https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png")

• Handle image request:

let imageRequest = ImageLoader.default.request("https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png") {
    image, error in
    self.imageView.image = image
}

You can cancel/suspend/restart the request

imageRequest.cancel()
imageRequest.suspend()
imageRequest.start()

To monitor the request's progress, implement the ImageRequestDelegate

func progress(_ request: ImageRequest, totalBytesSent: Int64, totalBytesExpected: Int64) {
    print("\(Double(totalBytesSent) / Double(totalBytesExpected) * 100.0)%")
}

If you do not want to start right away the loading of the image you can use the autoStart parameter

let imageRequest = ImageLoader.default.request("https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png", autoStart: false) {
    image, error in
    self.imageView.image = image
}
// Do Stuff
imageRequest.start()

By default images are cached, to disable that behavior:

let imageRequest = ImageLoader.default("https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/open_graph/github-mark.png") {
    image, error in
    self.imageView.image = image
}
imageRequest.shouldCacheResult = false
