class ImageStore: NSObject { 
    static let imageCache = NSCache<NSString, UIImage>()
}

extension UIImageView {
    func url(_ url: String?) {
        DispatchQueue.global().async { [weak self] in
            guard let stringURL = url, let url = URL(string: stringURL) else {
                return
            }
            func setImage(image:UIImage?) {
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self?.image = image
                }
            }
            let urlToString = url.absoluteString as NSString
            if let cachedImage = ImageStore.imageCache.object(forKey: urlToString) {
                setImage(image: cachedImage)
            } else if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url), let image = UIImage(data: data) {
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    ImageStore.imageCache.setObject(image, forKey: urlToString)
                    setImage(image: image)
                }
            }else {
                setImage(image: nil)
            }
        }
    }
}

用法:

let imageView = UIImageView()
imageView.url("image url")

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)
                        })
                    }

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()
                }
            })

Xcode 12•Swift 5

Leo Dabus的答案非常棒!我只是想提供一个一体化的功能解决方案:

if let url = URL(string: "http://www.apple.com/euro/ios/ios8/a/generic/images/og.png") {
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
        guard let data = data, error == nil else { return }
        
        DispatchQueue.main.async { /// execute on main thread
            self.imageView.image = UIImage(data: data)
        }
    }
    
    task.resume()
}

供你参考:对于swift-2.0 Xcode7.0 beta2

extension UIImageView {
    public func imageFromUrl(urlString: String) {
        if let url = NSURL(string: urlString) {
            let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
            NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()) {
            (response: NSURLResponse?, data: NSData?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                self.image = UIImage(data: data!)
            }
        }
    }
}

对于Swift-3及以上版本:

extension UIImageView {
  public func imageFromUrl(urlString: String) {
    if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
        let request = URLRequest(url: url)
        NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request as URLRequest, queue: .main, completionHandler: { (response, data, error) in
            if let imageData = data as NSData? {
                self.image = UIImage(data: imageData as Data)
            }
        })
    }
  }
}
