Swift 4:一个简单的小图像加载器(例如:缩略图)，使用NSCache，总是运行在主线程上:

class ImageLoader {

  private static let cache = NSCache<NSString, NSData>()

  class func image(for url: URL, completionHandler: @escaping(_ image: UIImage?) -> ()) {

    DispatchQueue.global(qos: DispatchQoS.QoSClass.background).async {

      if let data = self.cache.object(forKey: url.absoluteString as NSString) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async { completionHandler(UIImage(data: data as Data)) }
        return
      }

      guard let data = NSData(contentsOf: url) else {
        DispatchQueue.main.async { completionHandler(nil) }
        return
      }

      self.cache.setObject(data, forKey: url.absoluteString as NSString)
      DispatchQueue.main.async { completionHandler(UIImage(data: data as Data)) }
    }
  }

}

用法:

ImageLoader.image(for: imageURL) { image in
  self.imageView.image = image
}

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()
}

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")

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。

这是从URL加载/下载图像的工作代码。NSCache自动和显示占位符图像下载和加载实际图像(Swift 4 | Swift 5代码)。

func NKPlaceholderImage(image:UIImage?, imageView:UIImageView?,imgUrl:String,compate:@escaping (UIImage?) -> Void){
    
    if image != nil && imageView != nil {
        imageView!.image = image!
    }
    
    var urlcatch = imgUrl.replacingOccurrences(of: "/", with: "#")
    let documentpath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
    urlcatch = documentpath + "/" + "\(urlcatch)"
    
    let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile:urlcatch)
    if image != nil && imageView != nil
    {
        imageView!.image = image!
        compate(image)
        
    }else{
        
        if let url = URL(string: imgUrl){
            
            DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
                () -> Void in
                let imgdata = NSData(contentsOf: url)
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    () -> Void in
                    imgdata?.write(toFile: urlcatch, atomically: true)
                    let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile:urlcatch)
                    compate(image)
                    if image != nil  {
                        if imageView != nil  {
                            imageView!.image = image!
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

像这样使用:

// Here imgPicture = your imageView
// UIImage(named: "placeholder") is Display image brfore download and load actual image. 

NKPlaceholderImage(image: UIImage(named: "placeholder"), imageView: imgPicture, imgUrl: "Put Here your server image Url Sting") { (image) in }

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
