how to show an image from URL from AFnetworking with Swift? - swift

Question

This would be a super noob question but I have no idea how to convert URL to data and data to UIimage. The text labels are work really beautifully but the UI images are not working
I figured out there are some codes to convert them but don't know how to use them. could you help me out.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let manager = AFHTTPSessionManager()
let url = mainURL + "sample.php"
manager.get(url, parameters: nil, progress: nil, success: { (task, res) in
guard let json = res as? [String: Any] else {
print ("not [String: Any]]")
return
}
if let array = json["data"] as? [Any] {
for i in 0 ..< array.count {
if let row = array [ i ] as? [String: Any] {
let model = Model(t: row ["title"] as! String,
n: row ["user"] as! String,
d: row ["regdate"] as! String,
imgUrl: row ["img"] as! String)
self.models.append(model)
}
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}) { (task, error) in
print("error = \(error)")
}
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 500
}
Model
class Model : NSObject {
//?
let data = try? Data(contetsOf: url!)
let img = UIImage(data: data!)
let imgView = UIImageView(image: img)
var title : String
var name : String
var date : String
var image : UIImage!
init(t: String, n: String, d: String, imgUrl: String){
title = t
name = n
date = d
image = UIImage(named: imgUrl)
}
and the outlets.
mainCell.titleLabel.text = m.title //labels work fine
mainCell.nameLabel.text = m.name
mainCell.mainImgView.image = m.image

Try this
Just store image url in model class not image. Update your model class with below code
class Model : NSObject {
var title : String
var name : String
var date : String
var image : String
init(t: String, n: String, d: String, imgUrl: String){
title = t
name = n
date = d
image = imgUrl
}
}
// past code inside cellforRowAt
// download image from image URL
let url = URL(string: image)
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
mainCell.mainImgView.image = UIImage(data: data!)
}
}).resume()
