Installation
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate AlamofireImage into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile
:
pod 'AlamofireImage', '~> 4.1'
Carthage
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate AlamofireImage into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile
:
github "Alamofire/AlamofireImage" ~> 4.1
Swift Package Manager
The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift
compiler. It is in early development, but AlamofireImage does support its use on supported platforms.
Once you have your Swift package set up, adding AlamofireImage as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies
value of your Package.swift
.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/Alamofire/AlamofireImage.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.1.0"))
]
Manually
If you prefer not to use either of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate AlamofireImage into your project manually.
Embedded Framework
- Open up Terminal,
cd
into your top-level project directory, and run the following command "if" your project is not initialized as a git repository:
$ git init
- Add AlamofireImage as a git submodule by running the following command:
$ git submodule add https://github.com/Alamofire/AlamofireImage.git
-
Open the new
AlamofireImage
folder, and drag theAlamofireImage.xcodeproj
into the Project Navigator of your application's Xcode project.It should appear nested underneath your application's blue project icon. Whether it is above or below all the other Xcode groups does not matter.
-
Select the
AlamofireImage.xcodeproj
in the Project Navigator and verify the deployment target matches that of your application target. -
Next, select your application project in the Project Navigator (blue project icon) to navigate to the target configuration window and select the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.
-
In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "General" panel.
-
Click on the
+
button under the "Embedded Binaries" section. -
You will see two different
AlamofireImage.xcodeproj
folders each with two different versions of theAlamofireImage.framework
nested inside aProducts
folder.It does not matter which
Products
folder you choose from, but it does matter whether you choose the top or bottomAlamofireImage.framework
. -
Select the top
AlamofireImage.framework
for iOS and the bottom one for OS X.You can verify which one you selected by inspecting the build log for your project. The build target for
AlamofireImage
will be listed as eitherAlamofireImage iOS
,AlamofireImage macOS
,AlamofireImage tvOS
orAlamofireImage watchOS
. -
And that's it!
The
AlamofireImage.framework
is automagically added as a target dependency, linked framework and embedded framework in a copy files build phase which is all you need to build on the simulator and a device.
Usage
Image Response Serializers
import Alamofire
import AlamofireImage
Alamofire.request("https://httpbin.org/image/png").responseImage { response in
debugPrint(response)
print(response.request)
print(response.response)
debugPrint(response.result)
if case .success(let image) = response.result {
print("image downloaded: \(image)")
}
}
The AlamofireImage response image serializers support a wide range of image types including:
image/png
image/jpeg
image/tiff
image/gif
image/ico
image/x-icon
image/bmp
image/x-bmp
image/x-xbitmap
image/x-ms-bmp
image/x-win-bitmap
application/octet-stream
(added for iOS 13 support)
If the image you are attempting to download is an invalid MIME type not in the list, you can add custom acceptable content types using the
addAcceptableImageContentTypes
extension on theDataRequest
type.
UIImage Extensions
There are several UIImage
extensions designed to make the common image manipulation operations as simple as possible.
Inflation
let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "unicorn", withExtension: "png")!
let data = try! Data(contentsOf: url)
let image = UIImage(data: data, scale: UIScreen.main.scale)!
image.af.inflate()
Inflating compressed image formats (such as PNG or JPEG) in a background queue can significantly improve drawing performance on the main thread.
Scaling
let image = UIImage(named: "unicorn")!
let size = CGSize(width: 100.0, height: 100.0)
// Scale image to size disregarding aspect ratio
let scaledImage = image.af.imageScaled(to: size)
// Scale image to fit within specified size while maintaining aspect ratio
let aspectScaledToFitImage = image.af.imageAspectScaled(toFit: size)
// Scale image to fill specified size while maintaining aspect ratio
let aspectScaledToFillImage = image.af.imageAspectScaled(toFill: size)
Rounded Corners
let image = UIImage(named: "unicorn")!
let radius: CGFloat = 20.0
let roundedImage = image.af.imageRounded(withCornerRadius: radius)
let circularImage = image.af.imageRoundedIntoCircle()
Core Image Filters
let image = UIImage(named: "unicorn")!
let sepiaImage = image.af.imageFiltered(withCoreImageFilter: "CISepiaTone")
let blurredImage = image.af.imageFiltered(
withCoreImageFilter: "CIGaussianBlur",
parameters: ["inputRadius": 25]
)
Image Filters
The ImageFilter
protocol was designed to make it easy to apply a filter operation and cache the result after an image finished downloading. It defines two properties to facilitate this functionality.
public protocol ImageFilter {
var filter: Image -> Image { get }
var identifier: String { get }
}
The filter
closure contains the operation used to create a modified version of the specified image. The identifier
property is a string used to uniquely identify the filter operation. This is useful when adding filtered versions of an image to a cache. All identifier properties inside AlamofireImage are implemented using protocol extensions.
Single Pass
The single pass image filters only perform a single operation on the specified image.
let image = UIImage(named: "unicorn")!
let imageFilter = RoundedCornersFilter(radius: 10.0)
let roundedImage = imageFilter.filter(image)
The current list of single pass image filters includes:
ScaledToSizeFilter
- Scales an image to a specified size.AspectScaledToFitSizeFilter
- Scales an image from the center while maintaining the aspect ratio to fit within a specified size.AspectScaledToFillSizeFilter
- Scales an image from the center while maintaining the aspect ratio to fill a specified size. Any pixels that fall outside the specified size are clipped.RoundedCornersFilter
- Rounds the corners of an image to the specified radius.CircleFilter
- Rounds the corners of an image into a circle.BlurFilter
- Blurs an image using aCIGaussianBlur
filter with the specified blur radius.
Each image filter is built ontop of the
UIImage
extensions.
Multi-Pass
The multi-pass image filters perform multiple operations on the specified image.
let image = UIImage(named: "avatar")!
let size = CGSize(width: 100.0, height: 100.0)
let imageFilter = AspectScaledToFillSizeCircleFilter(size: size)
let avatarImage = imageFilter.filter(image)
The current list of multi-pass image filters includes:
ScaledToSizeWithRoundedCornersFilter
- Scales an image to a specified size, then rounds the corners to the specified radius.AspectScaledToFillSizeWithRoundedCornersFilter
- Scales an image from the center while maintaining the aspect ratio to fit within a specified size, then rounds the corners to the specified radius.ScaledToSizeCircleFilter
- Scales an image to a specified size, then rounds the corners into a circle.AspectScaledToFillSizeCircleFilter
- Scales an image from the center while maintaining the aspect ratio to fit within a specified size, then rounds the corners into a circle.
Image Cache
Image caching can become complicated when it comes to network images. URLCache
is quite powerful and does a great job reasoning through the various cache policies and Cache-Control
headers. However, it is not equipped to handle caching multiple modified versions of those images.
For example, let's say you need to download an album of images. Your app needs to display both the thumbnail version as well as the full size version at various times. Due to performance issues, you want to scale down the thumbnails to a reasonable size before rendering them on-screen. You also need to apply a global CoreImage filter to the full size images when displayed. While URLCache
can easily handle storing the original downloaded image, it cannot store these different variants. What you really need is another caching layer designed to handle these different variants.
let imageCache = AutoPurgingImageCache(
memoryCapacity: 100_000_000,
preferredMemoryUsageAfterPurge: 60_000_000
)
The AutoPurgingImageCache
in AlamofireImage fills the role of that additional caching layer. It is an in-memory image cache used to store images up to a given memory capacity. When the memory capacity is reached, the image cache is sorted by last access date, then the oldest image is continuously purged until the preferred memory usage after purge is met. Each time an image is accessed through the cache, the internal access date of the image is updated.
Add / Remove / Fetch Images
Interacting with the ImageCache
protocol APIs is very straightforward.
let imageCache = AutoPurgingImageCache()
let avatarImage = UIImage(data: data)!
// Add
imageCache.add(avatarImage, withIdentifier: "avatar")
// Fetch
let cachedAvatar = imageCache.image(withIdentifier: "avatar")
// Remove
imageCache.removeImage(withIdentifier: "avatar")
URL Requests
The ImageRequestCache
protocol extends the ImageCache
protocol by adding support for URLRequest
caching. This allows a URLRequest
and an additional identifier to generate the unique identifier for the image in the cache.
let imageCache = AutoPurgingImageCache()
let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/png")!)
let avatarImage = UIImage(named: "avatar")!.af.imageRoundedIntoCircle()
// Add
imageCache.add(avatarImage, for: urlRequest, withIdentifier: "circle")
// Fetch
let cachedAvatarImage = imageCache.image(for: urlRequest, withIdentifier: "circle")
// Remove
imageCache.removeImage(for: urlRequest, withIdentifier: "circle")
Auto-Purging
Each time an image is fetched from the cache, the cache internally updates the last access date for that image.
let avatar = imageCache.image(withIdentifier: "avatar")
let circularAvatar = imageCache.image(for: urlRequest, withIdentifier: "circle")
By updating the last access date for each image, the image cache can make more informed decisions about which images to purge when the memory capacity is reached. The AutoPurgingImageCache
automatically evicts images from the cache in order from oldest last access date to newest until the memory capacity drops below the preferredMemoryCapacityAfterPurge
.
It is important to set reasonable default values for the
memoryCapacity
andpreferredMemoryCapacityAfterPurge
when you are initializing your image cache. By default, thememoryCapacity
equals 100 MB and thepreferredMemoryCapacityAfterPurge
equals 60 MB.
Memory Warnings
The AutoPurgingImageCache
also listens for memory warnings from your application and will purge all images from the cache if a memory warning is observed.
Image Downloader
The ImageDownloader
class is responsible for downloading images in parallel on a prioritized queue. It uses an internal Alamofire SessionManager
instance to handle all the downloading and response image serialization. By default, the initialization of an ImageDownloader
uses a default URLSessionConfiguration
with the most common parameter values.
let imageDownloader = ImageDownloader(
configuration: ImageDownloader.defaultURLSessionConfiguration(),
downloadPrioritization: .fifo,
maximumActiveDownloads: 4,
imageCache: AutoPurgingImageCache()
)
If you need to customize the
URLSessionConfiguration
type or parameters, then simply provide your own rather than using the default.
Downloading an Image
let downloader = ImageDownloader()
let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg")!)
downloader.download(urlRequest) { response in
print(response.request)
print(response.response)
debugPrint(response.result)
if case .success(let image) = response.result {
print(image)
}
}
Make sure to keep a strong reference to the
ImageDownloader
instance, otherwise thecompletion
closure will not be called because thedownloader
reference will go out of scope before thecompletion
closure can be called.
Applying an ImageFilter
let downloader = ImageDownloader()
let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg")!)
let filter = AspectScaledToFillSizeCircleFilter(size: CGSize(width: 100.0, height: 100.0))
downloader.download(urlRequest, filter: filter) { response in
print(response.request)
print(response.response)
debugPrint(response.result)
if case .success(let image) = response.result {
print(image)
}
}
Authentication
If your images are behind HTTP Basic Auth, you can append the user:password:
or the credential
to the ImageDownloader
instance. The credentials will be applied to all future download requests.
let downloader = ImageDownloader()
downloader.addAuthentication(user: "username", password: "password")
Download Prioritization
The ImageDownloader
maintains an internal queue of pending download requests. Depending on your situation, you may want incoming downloads to be inserted at the front or the back of the queue. The DownloadPrioritization
enumeration allows you to specify which behavior you would prefer.
public enum DownloadPrioritization {
case fifo, lifo
}
The
ImageDownloader
is initialized with a.fifo
queue by default.
Image Caching
The ImageDownloader
uses a combination of an URLCache
and AutoPurgingImageCache
to create a very robust, high performance image caching system.
URLCache
The URLCache
is used to cache all the original image content downloaded from the server. By default, it is initialized with a memory capacity of 20 MB and a disk capacity of 150 MB. This allows up to 150 MB of original image data to be stored on disk at any given time. While these defaults have been carefully set, it is very important to consider your application's needs and performance requirements and whether these values are right for you.
If you wish to disable this caching layer, create a custom
URLSessionConfiguration
with theurlCache
property set tonil
and use that configuration when initializing theImageDownloader
.
Image Cache
The ImageCache
is used to cache all the potentially filtered image content after it has been downloaded from the server. This allows multiple variants of the same image to also be cached, rather than having to re-apply the image filters to the original image each time it is required. By default, an AutoPurgingImageCache
is initialized with a memory capacity of 100 MB and a preferred memory usage after purge limit of 60 MB. This allows up to 100 MB of most recently accessed filtered image content to be stored in-memory at a given time.
Setting Ideal Capacity Limits
Determining the ideal the in-memory and on-disk capacity limits of the URLCache
and AutoPurgingImageCache
requires a bit of forethought. You must carefully consider your application's needs, and tailor the limits accordingly. By default, the combination of caches offers the following storage capacities:
- 150 MB of on-disk storage (original image only)
- 20 MB of in-memory original image data storage (original image only)
- 100 MB of in-memory storage of filtered image content (filtered image if using filters, otherwise original image)
- 60 MB preferred memory capacity after purge of filtered image content
If you do not use image filters, it is advised to set the memory capacity of the
URLCache
to zero. Otherwise, you will be storing the original image data in both the URLCache's in-memory store as well as the AlamofireImage in-memory store.
Duplicate Downloads
Sometimes application logic can end up attempting to download an image more than once before the initial download request is complete. Most often, this results in the image being downloaded more than once. AlamofireImage handles this case elegantly by merging the duplicate downloads. The image will only be downloaded once, yet both completion handlers will be called.
Image Filter Reuse
In addition to merging duplicate downloads, AlamofireImage can also merge duplicate image filters. If two image filters with the same identifier are attached to the same download, the image filter is only executed once and both completion handlers are called with the same resulting image. This can save large amounts of time and resources for computationally expensive filters such as ones leveraging CoreImage.
Request Receipts
Sometimes it is necessary to cancel an image download for various reasons. AlamofireImage can intelligently handle cancellation logic in the ImageDownloader
by leveraging the RequestReceipt
type along with the cancelRequestForRequestReceipt
method. Each download request vends a RequestReceipt
which can be later used to cancel the request.
By cancelling the request through the ImageDownloader
using the RequestReceipt
, AlamofireImage is able to determine how to best handle the cancellation. The cancelled download will always receive a cancellation error, while duplicate downloads are allowed to complete. If the download is already active, it is allowed to complete even though the completion handler will be called with a cancellation error. This greatly improves performance of table and collection views displaying large amounts of images.
It is NOT recommended to directly call
cancel
on therequest
in theRequestReceipt
. Doing so can lead to issues such as duplicate downloads never being allowed to complete.
UIImageView Extension
The UIImage Extensions, Image Filters, Image Cache and Image Downloader were all designed to be flexible and standalone, yet also to provide the foundation of the UIImageView
extension. Due to the powerful support of these classes, protocols and extensions, the UIImageView
APIs are concise, easy to use and contain a large amount of functionality.
Setting Image with URL
Setting the image with a URL will asynchronously download the image and set it once the request is finished.
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/png")!
imageView.af.setImage(withURL: url)
If the image is cached locally, the image is set immediately.
Placeholder Images
By specifying a placeholder image, the image view uses the placeholder image until the remote image is downloaded.
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)
If the remote image is cached locally, the placeholder image is never set.
Image Filters
If an image filter is specified, it is applied asynchronously after the remote image is downloaded. Once the filter execution is complete, the resulting image is set on the image view.
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/png")!
let placeholderImage = UIImage(named: "placeholder")!
let filter = AspectScaledToFillSizeWithRoundedCornersFilter(
size: imageView.frame.size,
radius: 20.0
)
imageView.af.setImage(
withURL: url,
placeholderImage: placeholderImage,
filter: filter
)
If the remote image with the applied filter is cached locally, the image is set immediately.
Image Transitions
By default, there is no image transition animation when setting the image on the image view. If you wish to add a cross dissolve or flip-from-bottom animation, then specify an ImageTransition
with the preferred duration.
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: frame)
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/image/png")!
let placeholderImage = UIImage(named: "placeholder")!
let filter = AspectScaledToFillSizeWithRoundedCornersFilter(
size: imageView.frame.size,
radius: 20.0
)
imageView.af.setImage(
withURL: url,
placeholderImage: placeholderImage,
filter: filter,
imageTransition: .crossDissolve(0.2)
)
If the remote image is cached locally, the image transition is ignored.
Image Downloader
The UIImageView
extension is powered by the default ImageDownloader
instance. To customize cache capacities, download priorities, request cache policies, timeout durations, etc., please refer to the Image Downloader documentation.
Authentication
If an image requires and authentication credential from the UIImageView
extension, it can be provided as follows:
ImageDownloader.default.addAuthentication(user: "user", password: "password")
