Kingfisher and swift 3 - cannot set image with url - swift3

Question

Checking the documentation and the migration guide, I should be able to set a new image using this code:
imageView.kf.setImage(with:url ...)
but actually I cannot find this method in the library, I only see:
imageView.kf.setImage(with:Resource... )
I don't know exactly how this resource shoud work though since I cannot find anything in the documentation.

Answer 1

Resource is a protocol. URL has been extended to conform to this protocol. So you can do:
let url = URL(string: ...)!
imageView.kf.setImage(with: url)
If you want some control over what Kingfisher uses for the key in its cache, you can use ImageResource:
let identifier = "..."
let url = URL(string: "http://example.com/images/identifier=\(identifier)")!
let resource = ImageResource(downloadURL: url, cacheKey: identifier)
imageView.kf.setImage(with: resource)

For Swift 4.2
import Kingfisher
extension UIImageView {
func setImage(with urlString: String){
guard let url = URL.init(string: urlString) else {
return
}
let resource = ImageResource(downloadURL: url, cacheKey: urlString)
var kf = self.kf
kf.indicatorType = .activity
self.kf.setImage(with: resource)
}
}
How to use
self.imgVw.setImage(with: your image url)

Answer 3

I fixed that issue using this:
PhotoHelper.shared.imagePickedBlock = { [weak self] (image, url) in
self?.imageView.kf.setImage(with: url, placeholder: image, options: nil, progressBlock: nil, completionHandler: { imageResult, error, type, cache in
self?.imageView.image = image
})
}
PhotoHelper is wrapper on native Image Picker:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
currentVC.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
if let image = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
let url = info[UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL] as! URL
self.imagePickedBlock?(image, url)
}
})
}
