This library is deprecated in favor of PLXImageManager

Image manager/downloader for iOS

Installation

• Add the files in PLImageManager/Sources to your project
• If your project doesn't use ARC, enable it for PLImageManager files (-fobjc-arc flag)
• iOS5+ is required for full ARC functionality

Usage

Creation

PLURLImageProvider * provider = [PLURLImageProvider new];
PLImageManager * manager = [[PLImageManager alloc] initWithProvider:provider];

The provider is responsible for retrieving a image if it is not available in cache. The standard PLURLImageProvider is provided as convenience. It takes a URL and simply downloads up to 5 images at once. By implementing the PLImageManagerProvider protocol yourself, you can adapt the manager to fit your needs.

Requesting images

[manager imageForIdentifier:@”http://placehold.it/350/00aa00/ffffff”
                placeholder:[UIImage imageNamed:@”placeholder”
                   callback:^(UIImage *image, BOOL isPlaceholder) {
    //consume the image here
}];
