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")

Xcode 8或更高版本•Swift 3或更高版本

同步:

if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "imageName", ofType: "jpg"), let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile: filePath) {
    imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
    imageView.image = image
}

异步:

创建一个带有完成处理程序的方法，从您的url获取图像数据

func getData(from url: URL, completion: @escaping (Data?, URLResponse?, Error?) -> ()) {
    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: completion).resume()
}

创建一个方法来下载映像(启动任务)

func downloadImage(from url: URL) {
    print("Download Started")
    getData(from: url) { data, response, error in
        guard let data = data, error == nil else { return }
        print(response?.suggestedFilename ?? url.lastPathComponent)
        print("Download Finished")
        // always update the UI from the main thread
        DispatchQueue.main.async() { [weak self] in
            self?.imageView.image = UIImage(data: data)
        }
    }
}

用法:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    print("Begin of code")
    let url = URL(string: "https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/macOS-Mojave-Dynamic-Wallpaper-transition.jpg")! 
    downloadImage(from: url)
    print("End of code. The image will continue downloading in the background and it will be loaded when it ends.")
}

扩展:

extension UIImageView {
    func downloaded(from url: URL, contentMode mode: ContentMode = .scaleAspectFit) {
        contentMode = mode
        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
            guard
                let httpURLResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpURLResponse.statusCode == 200,
                let mimeType = response?.mimeType, mimeType.hasPrefix("image"),
                let data = data, error == nil,
                let image = UIImage(data: data)
                else { return }
            DispatchQueue.main.async() { [weak self] in
                self?.image = image
            }
        }.resume()
    }
    func downloaded(from link: String, contentMode mode: ContentMode = .scaleAspectFit) { 
        guard let url = URL(string: link) else { return }
        downloaded(from: url, contentMode: mode)
    }
}

用法:

imageView.downloaded(from: "https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/macOS-Mojave-Dynamic-Wallpaper-transition.jpg")

一个快速的黑客，如果你想快速检查图像从url

 let imageURL = NSURL(string: "https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1591/26078338233_d1466b7da2_m.jpg")
 let imagedData = NSData(contentsOfURL: imageURL!)!
 imageView?.image = UIImage(data: imagedData)

我在一个tableview中实现了一个只有图像的自定义单元格

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
        
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("theCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! customTableViewCell

        let imageURL = NSURL(string: "https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1591/26078338233_d1466b7da2_m.jpg")
        
        let imagedData = NSData(contentsOfURL: imageURL!)!
            
        cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(data: imagedData)
        
        return cell
        
    }

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

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.
