Usage

Simplest call:

[imageView setURL:url];

Call with options:

[imageView setURL:url
         fillType:fillType
          options:options
placeholderImage:placeholderImage
     failedImage:failedImage
           diskCacheTimeoutInternal:diskCacheTimeInterval];

where you can set different fillType:

• UIImageResizeFillTypeFillIn
• UIImageResizeFillTypeFitIn
• UIImageResizeFillTypeIgnoreAspectRatio

• UIImageResizeFillTypeNoResize

  The class will not rely on the contentMode to set the aspect ratio of the image. It will resize to the size of the imageView unless fillType==UIImageResizeFillTypeNoResize. It is because it is easier to do animation using layer. So you will find that if you set fillType to UIImageResizeFillTypeNoResize, most transiton animations will not run properly.

various options:

• WTURLImageViewOptionDontUseDiskCache: Disable disk cache
• WTURLImageViewOptionDontUseConnectionCache: Disable http cache
• WTURLImageViewOptionDontUseCache: Disable all cache
• WTURLImageViewOptionDontSaveDiskCache: Don't cache image
• WTURLImageViewOptionShowActivityIndicator: show activity indicator
• WTURLImageViewOptionAnimateEvenCache: by default, no animation when load from cache, set it to force animation in all case
• WTURLImageViewOptionDontClearImageBeforeLoading: by default, will clear old image when loading new image, keep the old image before new image is loaded.
• WTURLImageViewOptionsLoadDiskCacheInBackground: by default, cache is loaded in foreground. Set it if you assume loading image is very big that will take time to load from cache.
• WTURLImageViewOptionTransitionXXX: Various predefined transition when image is loaded.

It may be troublesome to set options every time, so you can use a helper class to preset settings:

WTURLImageViewPreset *preset = [][WTURLImageViewPreset alloc] init];
preset.placeholderImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder"];

[imageView setURL: url preset:preset];

Or you can set the default settings:

WTURLImageViewPreset *preset = [WTURLImageViewPreset defaultPreset];
preset.placeholderImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder"];

that all [WTURLImageView setURL:] will use the preset settings.

Check the sample code for details.
