NSCache在Swift中为UITableView存储图像

Question

I'm new in swift programming and I have searched a lot about storing images with NSCache using Swift.

What I have done so far is that I'm getting id s and imageName s with JSON and I have my data in array and I was able to display image in cells with no problem. Now I want to cache images. This is the code that I have written:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as TableViewCell

        //cell.imageView
         nameID = self.hoge[indexPath.row]["cars"]["carid"].string!
        cell.nameLabel.text = nameID

        if let imageFileURL = imageCache.objectForKey(self.hoge[indexPath.row]["cars"]["carid"].intValue) as? NSURL {
            println("Get image from cache")

        } else {

            imageName = self.hoge[indexPath.row]["cars"]["pic_name"].string!

            // If the image does not exist, we need to download it
            var imgURL: NSURL = NSURL(string: "http://192.168.1.35/car/uploads/" + imageName )!

            var image:UIImage = UIImage(named: "pen")!
            // Download an NSData representation of the image at the URL
            let request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: imgURL)
            NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue(), completionHandler: {(response: NSURLResponse!,data: NSData!,error: NSError!) -> Void in
                if error == nil {
                    image = UIImage(data: data)!
                    cell.viewCell.image = image

                }
                else {
                    println("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
                }
            })

        }

        return cell
    }

SO, How can I store and retrieve images with cache?

Answer 1

I recommend you to check this library HanekeSwift (It provides a memory and LRU disk cache for UIImage, NSData, JSON, String or any other type that can be read or written as data), at least to understand how they are dealing with cache, and you can decide to use it or create your own solution.

Using a very easy/simple API:

// Setting a remote image
imageView.hnk_setImageFromURL(url)

// Setting an image manually. Requires you to provide a key.
imageView.hnk_setImage(image, key: key)

Using the cache

let cache = Shared.dataCache

cache.set(value: data, key: "image.png")

// Eventually...

cache.fetch(key: "image.png").onSuccess { data in
     // Do something with data
}
