Alamofire VS Kingfisher

Alamofire is a swift http request lib. By default, we need use completion handler to handle response. Today we are going to find out how to use it with async and await.

Looks like your Alamofire tutorial is out of date. I suggest you read the current documentation and update your code. For instance, you can update your example to:

Alamofire - Elegant HTTP networking

Alamofire - Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift. (de facto standard library for network) Language: Swift.

You can find an example using Alamofire, the most commonly used network framework, here.

To add Alamofire, we'll be using Swift Package Manager. Xcode comes with built-in support for it and we'll not have to use external package managers like Cocoapods or Carthage. Click on File → Add Packages...

Saving URLs definitely the way to go. Would recommend using a library such as Kingfisher to do the image loading/ caching for you.

I also looked into this github library but wanted to first ask if anyone's had any experience using it.

You can checkout Kingfisher library (it downloads image, and caches it). Usage is fairly simple but I would recomment that you create extension for the UIIMageView, somthing in line like this:

In native iOS, most people use Kingfisher, and i'd love to have something as good as that on our RN app. Perhaps just some pure JS library that you could plug on the existing image component, and that would handle the saving-to-disk and fetching of the image?

Kingfisher - Download and cache images

We are using https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher for smooth image loading in collection view. If the image data are not in regular text file, how can we integrate CoreData's blob data with Kingfisher?

Make sure the proper target is selected in the Add to target in the dialog as shown above, then click Add Package button. The package should successfully be added to your project. Now following the same process, this time search for the Kingfisher package using the GitHub URL as the following https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher.

Kingfisher - A lightweight, pure-Swift library for downloading and caching images from the web. Language: Swift.
