Dailymotion Web Image

This library provides a drop-in remplacement for UIImageVIew with support for remote images coming from the web.

It provides:

  • Drop-in replacement to UIImageView
  • Memory + disk image caching
  • Uses NSOperation to perform parallel downloads and caching
  • Handles cache expiration transparently

How To Use It

Most common use is in conjunction with an UITableView. Just place an UIImageView in you UITableViewCell in interface builder, and set its class to DMImageView in the identity panel. Then, in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:, you just have to send a setImageWithURL: to the DMWebImage view with the URL of the image.

If in interface builder, an image was configured in the UIImageView, this image will be used as a placeholder, waiting for the web image to be loaded.

Future Enhancements

  • Allow setup of the queue size (current default setup is 8 parallel downloads and 2 parallel cache-ins)
  • Easy way to use it with default UITableView styles without requiring to create a custom UITableViewCell
