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 }

(Swift 4更新) 为了直接回答最初的问题，下面是发布的Objective-C代码片段的快速等效版本。

let url = URL(string: image.url)
let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!) //make sure your image in this url does exist, otherwise unwrap in a if let check / try-catch
imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)

免责声明:

需要注意的是，Data(contentsOf:)方法将在执行代码的同一线程中同步下载url的内容，因此不要在应用程序的主线程中调用此方法。

让相同的代码异步运行，而不阻塞UI的简单方法是使用GCD:

let url = URL(string: image.url)

DispatchQueue.global().async {
    let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!) //make sure your image in this url does exist, otherwise unwrap in a if let check / try-catch
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        imageView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
    }
}

也就是说，在现实生活中的应用程序中，如果您希望获得最佳的用户体验并避免同一映像的多次下载，您可能还希望不仅下载它们，而且缓存它们。已经有相当多的库可以无缝地做到这一点，而且它们都非常易于使用。我个人推荐翠鸟:

import Kingfisher

let url = URL(string: "url_of_your_image")
// this downloads the image asynchronously if it's not cached yet
imageView.kf.setImage(with: url) 

就是这样

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")

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。

Swift 2带有错误句柄和自定义请求头

简单地添加扩展到UIImageView:

extension UIImageView {
    public func imageFromUrl(urlString: String) {
        if let url = NSURL(string: urlString) {
            let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
            request.setValue("<YOUR_HEADER_VALUE>", forHTTPHeaderField: "<YOUR_HEADER_KEY>")
            NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
                (data, response, error) in
                guard let data = data where error == nil else{
                    NSLog("Image download error: \(error)")
                    return
                }

                if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse{
                    if httpResponse.statusCode > 400 {
                        let errorMsg = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
                        NSLog("Image download error, statusCode: \(httpResponse.statusCode), error: \(errorMsg!)")
                        return
                    }
                }

            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), {
                NSLog("Image download success")
                self.image = UIImage(data: data)
            })
            }.resume()
        }
    }
}

然后，使用新的imageFromUrl(urlString: String)下载图像

用法:

imageView.imageFromUrl("https://i.imgur.com/ONaprQV.png")

Swift 4.1我创建了一个函数，只是传递图像url，图像生成后缓存键设置为完成块。

   class NetworkManager: NSObject {
  
  private var imageQueue = OperationQueue()
  private var imageCache = NSCache<AnyObject, AnyObject>()
  
  func downloadImageWithUrl(imageUrl: String, cacheKey: String, completionBlock: @escaping (_ image: UIImage?)-> Void) {
    
    let downloadedImage = imageCache.object(forKey: cacheKey as AnyObject)
    if let  _ = downloadedImage as? UIImage {
      completionBlock(downloadedImage as? UIImage)
    } else {
      let blockOperation = BlockOperation()
      blockOperation.addExecutionBlock({
        let url = URL(string: imageUrl)
        do {
          let data = try Data(contentsOf: url!)
          let newImage = UIImage(data: data)
          if newImage != nil {
            self.imageCache.setObject(newImage!, forKey: cacheKey as AnyObject)
            self.runOnMainThread {
              completionBlock(newImage)
            }
          } else {
            completionBlock(nil)
          }
        } catch {
          completionBlock(nil)
        }
      })
      self.imageQueue.addOperation(blockOperation)
      blockOperation.completionBlock = {
        print("Image downloaded \(cacheKey)")
      }
    }
  }
}
extension NetworkManager {
  fileprivate func runOnMainThread(block:@escaping ()->Void) {
    if Thread.isMainThread {
      block()
    } else {
      let mainQueue = OperationQueue.main
      mainQueue.addOperation({
        block()
      })
    }
  }
}
