我建议使用Kingfisher库来异步下载图像。使用翠鸟最好的部分是，它默认缓存所有下载的图像，图像url作为id。下次当您请求下载具有特定URl的图像时，它将从缓存中加载它。

用法:

newsImage.kf.setImage(with: imageUrl!, placeholder: nil, options: nil, progressBlock: nil, completionHandler: { (image, error, cacheType, imageUrl) in
                if error == nil{
                    self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                }else if error != nil{
                    self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                }
            })

斯威夫特4::

这将在加载图像时显示加载器。 你可以使用NSCache临时存储图像

let imageCache = NSCache<NSString, UIImage>()
extension UIImageView {
    func loadImageUsingCache(withUrl urlString : String) {
        let url = URL(string: urlString)
        if url == nil {return}
        self.image = nil

        // check cached image
        if let cachedImage = imageCache.object(forKey: urlString as NSString)  {
            self.image = cachedImage
            return
        }

        let activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView.init(activityIndicatorStyle: .gray)
        addSubview(activityIndicator)
        activityIndicator.startAnimating()
        activityIndicator.center = self.center

        // if not, download image from url
        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
            if error != nil {
                print(error!)
                return
            }

            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                if let image = UIImage(data: data!) {
                    imageCache.setObject(image, forKey: urlString as NSString)
                    self.image = image
                    activityIndicator.removeFromSuperview()
                }
            }

        }).resume()
    }
}

用法:-

truckImageView.loadImageUsingCache(withUrl: currentTruck.logoString)

Swift 2带有错误句柄和自定义请求头

简单地添加扩展到UIImageView:

extension UIImageView {
    public func imageFromUrl(urlString: String) {
        if let url = NSURL(string: urlString) {
            let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
            request.setValue("<YOUR_HEADER_VALUE>", forHTTPHeaderField: "<YOUR_HEADER_KEY>")
            NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
                (data, response, error) in
                guard let data = data where error == nil else{
                    NSLog("Image download error: \(error)")
                    return
                }

                if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse{
                    if httpResponse.statusCode > 400 {
                        let errorMsg = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
                        NSLog("Image download error, statusCode: \(httpResponse.statusCode), error: \(errorMsg!)")
                        return
                    }
                }

            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
                NSLog("Image download success")
                self.image = UIImage(data: data)
            })
            }.resume()
        }
    }
}

然后，使用新的imageFromUrl(urlString: String)下载图像

用法:

imageView.imageFromUrl("https://i.imgur.com/ONaprQV.png")

(Swift 4更新) 为了直接回答最初的问题，下面是发布的Objective-C代码片段的快速等效版本。

let url = URL(string: image.url)
let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!) //make sure your image in this url does exist, otherwise unwrap in a if let check / try-catch
imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)

免责声明:

需要注意的是，Data(contentsOf:)方法将在执行代码的同一线程中同步下载url的内容，因此不要在应用程序的主线程中调用此方法。

让相同的代码异步运行，而不阻塞UI的简单方法是使用GCD:

let url = URL(string: image.url)

DispatchQueue.global().async {
    let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!) //make sure your image in this url does exist, otherwise unwrap in a if let check / try-catch
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
    }
}

也就是说，在现实生活中的应用程序中，如果您希望获得最佳的用户体验并避免同一映像的多次下载，您可能还希望不仅下载它们，而且缓存它们。已经有相当多的库可以无缝地做到这一点，而且它们都非常易于使用。我个人推荐翠鸟:

import Kingfisher

let url = URL(string: "url_of_your_image")
// this downloads the image asynchronously if it's not cached yet
imageView.kf.setImage(with: url) 

就是这样

我建议使用Kingfisher库来异步下载图像。使用翠鸟最好的部分是，它默认缓存所有下载的图像，图像url作为id。下次当您请求下载具有特定URl的图像时，它将从缓存中加载它。

用法:

newsImage.kf.setImage(with: imageUrl!, placeholder: nil, options: nil, progressBlock: nil, completionHandler: { (image, error, cacheType, imageUrl) in
                if error == nil{
                    self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                }else if error != nil{
                    self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                }
            })

从服务器加载图像:-

func downloadImage(from url: URL , success:@escaping((_ image:UIImage)->()),failure:@escaping ((_ msg:String)->())){
    print("Download Started")
    getData(from: url) { data, response, error in
        guard let data = data, error == nil else {
            failure("Image cant download from G+ or fb server")
            return
        }

        print(response?.suggestedFilename ?? url.lastPathComponent)
        print("Download Finished")
        DispatchQueue.main.async() {
             if let _img = UIImage(data: data){
                  success(_img)
            }
        }
    }
}
func getData(from url: URL, completion: @escaping (Data?, URLResponse?, Error?) -> ()) {
    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: completion).resume()
}

用法:-

  if let url = URL(string: "http://www.apple.com/euro/ios/ios8/a/generic/images/og.png") {
                        self.downloadImage(from:url , success: { (image) in
                            print(image)

                        }, failure: { (failureReason) in
                            print(failureReason)
                        })
                    }
