Advanced framework for loading, caching, processing, displaying and preheating images.
This framework is no longer maintained.
Programming in Swift? Check out Nuke!
Features
- Zero config
- Works great with both Objective-C and Swift
- Performant, asynchronous, thread safe
Loading
- Uses NSURLSession with HTTP/2 support
- Optional AFNetworking integration, combine the power of both frameworks!
- Uses a single fetch operation for equivalent requests
- Intelligent preheating of images close to the viewport
Caching
- Doesn't reinvent caching, relies on HTTP cache and its implementation in Foundation
- Caching is completely transparent to the client
- Two cache layers, including top level memory cache for decompressed images
Processing
- Optional FLAnimatedImage integration
- Optional WebP integration
- Progressive image decoding including progressive JPEG
- Background image decompression and scaling in a single step
- Resize and crop loaded images to fit displayed size, add rounded corners or circle
Advanced
- Customize different parts of the framework using dependency injection
- Create and compose image managers into a tree of responsibility
Getting Started
- Take a look at comprehensive demo using
pod try DFImageManager
command - Check out complete documentation and Wiki
- Install,
@import DFImageManager
and enjoy!
Usage
Zero Config
[[DFImageManager imageTaskForResource:<#imageURL#> completion:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, DFImageResponse *response, DFImageTask *task){
// Use loaded image
}] resume];
Adding Request Options
DFMutableImageRequestOptions *options = [DFMutableImageRequestOptions new]; // builder
options.priority = DFImageRequestPriorityHigh;
options.allowsClipping = YES;
DFImageRequest *request = [DFImageRequest requestWithResource:<#imageURL#> targetSize:CGSizeMake(100, 100) contentMode:DFImageContentModeAspectFill options:options.options];
[[DFImageManager imageTaskForRequest:request completion:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, DFImageResponse *response, DFImageTask *imageTask) {
// Image is resized and clipped to fill 100x100px square
if (response.isFastResponse) {
// Image was returned synchronously from the memory cache
}
}] resume];
Using Image Task
DFImageTask *task = [DFImageManager imageTaskForResource:<#imageURL#> completion:nil];
NSProgress *progress = task.progress;
task.priority = DFImageRequestPriorityHigh; // Change priority of executing task
[task cancel];
Using UI Components
Use methods from UIImageView
category for simple cases:
UIImageView *imageView = ...;
[imageView df_setImageWithResource:<#imageURL#>];
Use DFImageView
for more advanced features:
DFImageView *imageView = ...;
imageView.allowsAnimations = YES; // Animates images when the response wasn't fast enough
imageView.managesRequestPriorities = YES; // Automatically changes current request priority when image view gets added/removed from the window
[imageView prepareForReuse];
[imageView setImageWithResource:<#imageURL#>];
UICollectionView
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UICollectionViewCell *cell = <#cell#>
DFImageView *imageView = (id)[cell viewWithTag:15];
if (!imageView) {
imageView = [[DFImageView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.bounds];
imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
imageView.tag = 15;
[cell addSubview:imageView];
}
[imageView prepareForReuse];
[imageView setImageWithResource:<#image_url#>];
return cell;
}
Cancel image task as soon as the cell goes offscreen (optional):
- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didEndDisplayingCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)cell forItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
[((DFImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:15]) prepareForReuse];
}
Preheating Images
NSArray
*requestsForAddedItems = <#requests#>;
[DFImageManager
startPreheatingImagesForRequests:requestsForAddedItems];
NSArray
*requestsForRemovedItems = <#requests#>;
[DFImageManager
stopPreheatingImagesForRequests:requestsForRemovedItems];
Progressive Image Decoding
// Enable progressive image decoding
[DFImageManagerConfiguration setAllowsProgressiveImage:YES];
// Create image request that allows progressive image
DFMutableImageRequestOptions *options = [DFMutableImageRequestOptions new];
options.allowsProgressiveImage = YES;
DFImageRequest *request = <#request#>;
DFImageTask *task = <#task#>;
task.progressiveImageHandler = ^(UIImage *__nonnull image){
imageView.image = image;
};
[task resume];
Customizing Image Manager
id
fetcher = <#fetcher#>;
id
decoder = <#decoder#>;
id
processor = <#processor#>;
id
cache = <#cache#>;
DFImageManagerConfiguration *configuration = [[DFImageManagerConfiguration
alloc]
initWithFetcher:fetcher];
configuration.decoder = decoder;
configuration.processor = processor;
configuration.cache = cache;
[DFImageManager
setSharedManager:[[DFImageManager
alloc]
initWithConfiguration:configuration]];
Composing Image Managers
The DFCompositeImageManager
constructs a tree of responsibility from image managers and dynamically dispatch requests between them. Each manager should conform to DFImageManaging
protocol. The DFCompositeImageManager
also conforms to DFImageManaging
protocol so that individual managers and compositions can be treated uniformly.
id
manager1 = <#manager#>
id
manager2 = <#manager#>
id
composite = [[DFCompositeImageManager
alloc]
initWithImageManagers:@[manager1, manager2]];
Design
Protocol | Description |
---|---|
DFImageManaging |
A high-level API for loading images |
DFImageFetching |
Performs fetching of image data (NSData ) |
DFImageDecoding |
Converts NSData to UIImage objects |
DFImageProcessing |

Installation
CocoaPods
To install DFImageManager add a dependency in your Podfile:
pod 'DFImageManager'
By default it will install these subspecs:
DFImageManager/Core
- DFImageManager core classesDFImageManager/UI
- UI components
There are four more optional subspecs:
DFImageManager/AFNetworking
- replaces networking stack with AFNetworkingDFImageManager/GIF
- GIF support with a FLAnimatedImage dependencyDFImageManager/WebP
- WebP support with a libwebp dependencyDFImageManager/PhotosKit
- Photos Framework support
To install optional subspecs include them in your Podfile:
pod 'DFImageManager'
pod 'DFImageManager/AFNetworking'
pod 'DFImageManager/GIF'
pod 'DFImageManager/WebP'
pod 'DFImageManager/PhotosKit'
Carthage
DFImageManager has a limited Carthage support that doesn't feature FLAnimatedImage and AFNetworking integration. To install DFImageManager add a dependency to your Cartfile:
github "kean/DFImageManager"
Requirements
- iOS 8.0+ / watchOS 2
- Xcode 7.0+
Supported Image Formats
- Image formats supported by
UIImage
(JPEG, PNG, BMP, and more) - GIF (
GIF
subspec) - WebP (
WebP
subspec)
