ROThumbnailGenerator

Create thumbnail images by a given URL (supports at the moment PDF, Images and Videos).

Installation

ROThumbnailGenerator is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "ROThumbnailGenerator"

How to use

The ROThumbnail class is responsible for creating thumbnails by a given URL. The method getThumbnail(url:NSURL) does internally check the supported file types and uses the corresponding implementation of ROThumbnailGenerator.

At the moment there are the following file types supported:

  • PDF (.pdf)
  • IMAGE (.png, .jpg, .jpeg)
  • VIDEO (.mov, .m4a)

You can retrieve the thumbnail of a given URL like that:

var thumbnailImage = ROThumbnail.sharedInstance.getThumbnail(fileUrl)

If you want to add a new implementation of the ROThumbnailGenerator you can do this by implementing the ROThumbnailGenerator class and define your supported file extensions you are going to handle with this implementation.

Here is a small example:

class ImageThumbnailGenerator : ROThumbnailGenerator {

    var supportedExtensions:Array<String> = ["png", "jpg", "jpeg"]

    func getThumbnail(url:NSURL) -> UIImage {
        return UIImage(data: NSData(contentsOfURL: url)!) ?? UIImage(named: "Piktogramm_IMAGE")!
    }
}

You can add your implementation with the following call:

ROThumbnail.sharedInstance.addThumbnailGenerator(yourThumbnailGenerator)
