这是最简单的方法，你不必担心async，或者它是如何工作的。

import SDWebImage

imageView.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: ".net/path/to/image.jpg"), placeholderImage: UIImage(named: "placeholder.png"))
Using UIImageView+WebCache category with UI

这里有一篇关于它的详细博文。

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()
}

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()
                }
            })

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。

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 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")
