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

Swift 2.0:

1)

if let url = NSURL(string: "http://etc...") {
    if let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url) {
        imageURL.image = UIImage(data: data)
    }        
}

OR

imageURL.image =
    NSURL(string: "http:// image name...")
    .flatMap { NSData(contentsOfURL: $0) }
    .flatMap { UIImage(data: $0) }

2)将此方法添加到VC或Extension中。

func load_image(urlString:String)
{   let imgURL: NSURL = NSURL(string: urlString)!
    let request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: imgURL)

    NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()) { (response: NSURLResponse?, data: NSData?, error: NSError?) in

        if error == nil {
            self.image_element.image = UIImage(data: data)
        }
    }
}

用法:

self.load_image(" url strig here")

Swift 4.1我创建了一个函数，只是传递图像url，图像生成后缓存键设置为完成块。

   class NetworkManager: NSObject {
  
  private var imageQueue = OperationQueue()
  private var imageCache = NSCache<AnyObject, AnyObject>()
  
  func downloadImageWithUrl(imageUrl: String, cacheKey: String, completionBlock: @escaping (_ image: UIImage?)-> Void) {
    
    let downloadedImage = imageCache.object(forKey: cacheKey as AnyObject)
    if let  _ = downloadedImage as? UIImage {
      completionBlock(downloadedImage as? UIImage)
    } else {
      let blockOperation = BlockOperation()
      blockOperation.addExecutionBlock({
        let url = URL(string: imageUrl)
        do {
          let data = try Data(contentsOf: url!)
          let newImage = UIImage(data: data)
          if newImage != nil {
            self.imageCache.setObject(newImage!, forKey: cacheKey as AnyObject)
            self.runOnMainThread {
              completionBlock(newImage)
            }
          } else {
            completionBlock(nil)
          }
        } catch {
          completionBlock(nil)
        }
      })
      self.imageQueue.addOperation(blockOperation)
      blockOperation.completionBlock = {
        print("Image downloaded \(cacheKey)")
      }
    }
  }
}
extension NetworkManager {
  fileprivate func runOnMainThread(block:@escaping ()->Void) {
    if Thread.isMainThread {
      block()
    } else {
      let mainQueue = OperationQueue.main
      mainQueue.addOperation({
        block()
      })
    }
  }
}

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()
}

干净的方式:

extension URL {
    var favIcon16: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .s) }
    var favIcon32: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .m) }
    var favIcon64: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .l) }
    var favIcon128: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .xl) }
    var favIcon256: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .xxl) }
    var favIcon512: UIImage? { getFav(ofSize: .xxxl) }

    private func getFav(ofSize s: FavSize) -> UIImage? {
        guard UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(self),
              let favUrl = URL(string: "https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=\(s.rawValue)&domain=\(self.absoluteURL)"),
              let data = try? Data(contentsOf: favUrl)
        else { return nil }
        return UIImage(data: data)
 }
    private enum FavSize: Int, CaseIterable { case s = 16, m = 32, l = 64, xl = 128, xxl = 256, xxxl = 512 }
}

和用法:

let myUrl = URL(string: "http://facebook.com")
myImgView.image = myUrl.favIcon16

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。
