The url image allows you to show graphical content from remote sources via a url. This packe also provides useful http-request-lifecycle-specific content.

URL Image Module

Usage

A URLImage is separted in three logical separated states:

1. loading, during the download process
2. default, in case the download did fail
3. content, after the successful download

The constructor comes with the option to either use a URL or a plain String to define the resources origin. In case the String does not represent a valid URL, the content will fallback to default.

if let url = URL(string: "www.abc.com/image") {
    URLImage(url: url)
}

URLImage(url: "www.abc.com/image")
