用 Swift 编写的图像视图的图像下载扩展,适用于 iOS、tvOS 和 macOS

Moa,一个用 Swift 编写的图像下载器,适用于 iOS、tvOS 和 macOS

Moa 是一个用 Swift 编写的图像下载库。它允许通过设置其属性在图像视图中下载和显示图像。moa.url

imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
迅速
  • 图像以异步方式下载。
  • 使用 URL 进行网络和缓存。
  • 允许配置缓存大小和策略。
  • 可以在没有图像视图的情况下使用。
  • 提供用于图像处理和错误处理的闭包属性。
  • 包括用于伪造网络响应的单元测试模式。
  • 包含用于调试网络问题的日志记录功能。

Setup

There are multiple ways you can add Moa to your Xcode project.

Add source (iOS 7+)

Simply add MoaDistrib.swift file into your Xcode project.

Setup with Carthage (iOS 8+)

Alternatively, add to your Cartfile and run .github "evgenyneu/moa" ~> 12.0carthage update

Setup with CocoaPods (iOS 8+)

If you are using CocoaPods add this text to your Podfile and run .pod install

use_frameworks!
target 'Your target name'
pod 'moa', '~> 12.0'

Setup with Swift Package Manager

Legacy Swift versions

Setup a previous version of the library if you use an older version of Swift.

Usage

  1. Add to your source code (unless you used the file setup method).import moa

  2. Drag an Image View to your view in the storyboard. Create an outlet property for this image view in your view controller. Alternatively, instead of using the storyboard you can create a object in code.UIImageView

  3. Set property of the image view to start asynchronous image download. The image will be automatically displayed when download is finished.moa.url

imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift

Loading images from insecure HTTP hosts

If your image URLs are not https you will need to add an exception to the Info.plist file. This will allow the App Transport Security to load the images from insecure HTTP hosts.

Canceling download

Ongoing image download for the image view is automatically canceled when:

  1. Image view is deallocated.
  2. New image download is started: .imageView.moa.url = ...

Call to manually cancel the download.imageView.moa.cancel()

Supply an error image

You can supply an error image that will be used if an error occurs during image download.

imageView.moa.errorImage = UIImage(named: "ImageNotFound.jpg")
imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift

Alternatively, one can supply a global error image that will be used for all failed image downloads.

Moa.errorImage = UIImage(named: "ImageNotFound.jpg")
Swift

Show a placeholder image

Here is how to show a placeholder image in the image view. The placeholder will be replaced by the image from the network when it arrives.

imageView.image = placeholderImage
imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift

Advanced features

Supplying completion closure

Assign a closure that will be called when image is received.

imageView.moa.onSuccess = { image in
  return image
}

imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift
  • The closure will be called after download finishes and before the image is assigned to the image view.
  • This is a good place to manipulate the image before it is shown.
  • The closure returns an image that will be shown in the image view. Return nil if you do not want the image to be shown.
  • The closure as called in the main queue. Use property instead if you need to do time consuming operations.onSuccessAsync
  • When is supplied and an error occurs the success closures are called.errorImage

Supplying error closure

imageView.moa.onError = { error, response in
  // Handle error
}

imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift
  • The closure is called in the main queue if image download fails. Use property instead if you need to do time consuming operations.onErrorAsync
  • See the "logging" section if you need to find out the type of the error.

Download an image without an image view

An instance of class can also be used without an image view. A strong reference to instance needs to be kept.MoaMoa

let moa = Moa()
moa.onSuccess = { image in
  // image is loaded
  return image
}
moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"
Swift

Clearing HTTP session

The following method calls on the current URLSession object. A new session object will be created for future image downloads.finishTasksAndInvalidate

MoaHttpSession.clearSession()
Swift

You may never need to call this method in your app. I needed to call it periodically to workaround a strange URLSession bug which you may not encounter.

Image caching

Use the to change caching settings. For more information please refer to the moa image caching manual.Moa.settings.cache

// By default images are cached according to their response HTTP headers.
Moa.settings.cache.requestCachePolicy = .useProtocolCachePolicy

// Always cache images locally regardless of their response HTTP headers
Moa.settings.cache.requestCachePolicy = .returnCacheDataElseLoad

// Change the name of the cache directory. Useful for sharing cache with the rest of the app.
Moa.settings.cache.diskPath = "MyAppSharedCache"
Swift

Settings

Use property to change moa image download settings.Moa.settings


// Set the maximum number of simultaneous image downloads. Default: 4.
Moa.settings.maximumSimultaneousDownloads = 5

// Change timeout for image requests. Default: 10.
Moa.settings.requestTimeoutSeconds = 20
Swift

Logging

You can use the moa logger to see how/when the images are loaded or debug a network problem. One can use a pre-made function to see the log messages in the Xcode console or write a custom logger. See the logging manual for more information.MoaConsoleLogger

// Log to console
Moa.logger = MoaConsoleLogger

// Load an image
imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image"

// Attempt to load a missing image
imageView.moa.url = "https://bit.ly/moa_image_missing.jpg"
Swift

Unit testing

Sometimes it is useful to prevent code from making real HTTP requests. Moa includes class for testing image downloads and faking network responses. See unit test manual for more information.MoaSimulator

// Autorespond with the given image to all image requests
MoaSimulator.autorespondWithImage("www.site.com", image: UIImage(named: "35px.jpg")!)
Swift
