extension UIImageView {
    func load(url: URL) {
        DispatchQueue.global().async { [weak self] in
            if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) {
                if let image = UIImage(data: data) {
                    DispatchQueue.main.async {
                        self?.image = image
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

使用

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
   if let url = URL(string:"<imageURLHere>"){
     imgView.load(url: url)
   }
}

// It's better to use extension 
extension UIImageView {
func downloadImage(from URLString: String, with completion: @escaping (_ response: (status: Bool, image: UIImage? ) ) -> Void) {
    guard let url = URL(string: URLString) else {
        completion((status: false, image: nil))
        return
    }
    
    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
        guard error == nil else {

            return
        }
        
        guard let httpURLResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
              httpURLResponse.statusCode == 200,
              let data = data else {
            completion((status: false, image: nil))
            return

快乐的鳕鱼。欢呼:)

一种获取图像的方法是安全的，适用于Swift 2.0和X-Code 7.1:

static func imageForImageURLString(imageURLString: String, completion: (image: UIImage?, success: Bool) -> Void) {
    guard let url = NSURL(string: imageURLString),
        let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url),
        let image = UIImage(data: data)
        else { 
            completion(image: nil, success: false); 
            return 
       }

    completion(image: image, success: true)
}

然后你可以像这样调用这个方法:

imageForImageURLString(imageString) { (image, success) -> Void in
        if success {
            guard let image = image 
                 else { return } // Error handling here 
            // You now have the image. 
         } else {
            // Error handling here.
        }
    }

如果你要用图像更新视图，你必须在" If success{"后面加上这个:

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { () -> Void in
         guard let image = image 
              else { return } // Error handling here 
         // You now have the image. Use the image to update the view or anything UI related here
         // Reload the view, so the image appears
    }

The reason this last part is needed if you are using the image in the UI is because network calls take time. If you try to update the UI using the image without calling dispatch_async like above, the computer will look for the image while the image is still being fetched, find that there is no image (yet), and move on as if there was no image found. Putting your code inside of a dispatch_async completion closure says to the computer, "Go, get this image and when you are done, then complete this code." That way, you will have the image when the code is called and things will work well.

我把这个问题的最佳答案的代码包装成一个单一的，可重用的类扩展UIImageView，所以你可以直接在你的故事板中使用异步加载UIImageViews(或从代码中创建它们)。

这是我的班级:

import Foundation
import UIKit

class UIImageViewAsync :UIImageView
{

    override init()
    {
        super.init(frame: CGRect())
    }

    override init(frame:CGRect)
    {
        super.init(frame:frame)
    }

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    func getDataFromUrl(url:String, completion: ((data: NSData?) -> Void)) {
        NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(NSURL(string: url)!) { (data, response, error) in
            completion(data: NSData(data: data))
        }.resume()
    }

    func downloadImage(url:String){
        getDataFromUrl(url) { data in
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                self.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill
                self.image = UIImage(data: data!)
            }
        }
    }
}

下面是如何使用它:

imageView.downloadImage("http://www.image-server.com/myImage.jpg")

Swift 4.2和AlamofireImage

如果使用库不是问题，您可以通过AlamofireImage的帮助来完成。 我的样本来自它的Github

占位符图片

let imageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/png")!
let placeholderImage = UIImage(named: "placeholder")!
imageView.af_setImage(withURL: url, placeholderImage: placeholderImage)

它有许多方便的功能和扩展工作与图像。从缓存到缩放和调整大小，甚至在图像上应用过滤器。如果图像在你的应用中很重要，我建议使用这个框架来节省你的时间。

这个方法将从一个网站异步下载图像并缓存它:

    func getImageFromWeb(_ urlString: String, closure: @escaping (UIImage?) -> ()) {
        guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else {
return closure(nil)
        }
        let task = URLSession(configuration: .default).dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
            guard error == nil else {
                print("error: \(String(describing: error))")
                return closure(nil)
            }
            guard response != nil else {
                print("no response")
                return closure(nil)
            }
            guard data != nil else {
                print("no data")
                return closure(nil)
            }
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                closure(UIImage(data: data!))
            }
        }; task.resume()
    }

在使用:

    getImageFromWeb("http://www.apple.com/euro/ios/ios8/a/generic/images/og.png") { (image) in
        if let image = image {
            let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200))
            imageView.image = image
            self.view.addSubview(imageView)
        } // if you use an Else statement, it will be in background
    }
