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()
                }
            })

斯威夫特2。x答案下载图像到文件(与Leo Dabus的答案相反，它将图像存储在内存中)。根据Leo Dabus的回答和Rob的回答，从完成处理程序的NSURLSession DownloadTaskWithRequest中获取数据:

    // Set download vars
    let downloadURL = NSURL() // URL to download from
    let localFilename = "foobar.png" // Filename for storing locally 

    // Create download request
    let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().downloadTaskWithURL(downloadURL) { location, response, error in
        guard location != nil && error == nil else {
            print("Error downloading message: \(error)")
            return
        }

        // If here, no errors so save message to permanent location
        let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
        do {
            let documents = try fileManager.URLForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomain: .UserDomainMask, appropriateForURL: nil, create: false)
            let fileURL = documents.URLByAppendingPathComponent(localFilename)
            try fileManager.moveItemAtURL(location!, toURL: fileURL)
            self.doFileDownloaded(fileURL, localFilename: localFilename)
            print("Downloaded message @ \(localFilename)")
        } catch {
            print("Error downloading message: \(error)")
        }
    }

    // Start download
    print("Starting download @ \(downloadURL)")
    task.resume()


// Helper function called after file successfully downloaded
private func doFileDownloaded(fileURL: NSURL, localFilename: String) {

    // Do stuff with downloaded image

}

翠鸟是一个最好的库加载图像到URL。

Github URL - https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher

// If you want to use Activity Indicator.
imageview_pic.kf.indicatorType = .activity
imageview_pic.kf.setImage(with: URL(string: "Give your url string"))

// If you want to use custom placeholder image.
imageview_pic.kf.setImage(with: URL(string: "Give your url string"), placeholder: UIImage(named: "placeholder image name"), options: nil, progressBlock: nil, completionHandler: nil)

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。

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
