class Downloader {
    
    class func downloadImageWithURL(url: String) -> UIImage! {
        
        let date = NSData(contentsOf: URL(string: url)!)
        return UIImage(data: date! as Data)
    }
}

用法:

let img = Downloader.downloadImageWithURL(url: imageURL)
        self.imageView1.image = img

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)
                        })
                    }

你需要做的是:

UIImage(data: data)

在Swift中，他们已经用规则构造函数取代了大多数Objective C工厂方法。

See:

为了在UITableView或UICollectionView中获得更好的性能，使用轻量级库智能惰性加载，如果你想从url异步加载图像，可以使用这种惰性加载方法

因此，在这个项目中，我们可以通过使用操作和操作队列并发优化应用程序的性能，在任何视图(UICollectionView或UITableView)中下载多个图像。以下是这个项目的重点智能延迟加载:创建图像下载服务。根据单元格的可见性优先下载。

ImageDownloadService类将创建一个单例实例，并有一个NSCache实例来缓存已下载的图像。我们已经将Operation类继承给TOperation，以便根据我们的需要修改功能。我认为就功能而言，operation子类的属性非常清楚。我们使用KVO监测操作状态的变化。

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()
                }
            })
