Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for MOA, a powerful image download and caching library for iOS. MOA is designed to simplify the process of handling image downloading, caching, and presentation in your iOS applications. Whether you’re fetching images from the web or loading them from local resources, MOA makes it easy.

Installation

To get started with MOA, you can install it using CocoaPods. Simply add the following line to your Podfile:

“`ruby
pod ‘MOA’, ‘~> 1.5.0’
“`

Then, run the command `pod install` in your terminal to install the dependency.

Usage

MOA provides a simple and intuitive API for downloading and displaying images. Here’s how you can use MOA in your project:

Image Downloading

  1. First, import the MOA module:

    2. “`swift
    import MOA
    “`

  2. Next, create an instance of the MOAImageDownloader:

    3. “`swift
    let downloader = MOAImageDownloader()
    “`

  3. You can now start downloading an image using its URL:

    4. “`swift
    downloader.download(url: “https://example.com/image.jpg”) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let image):
    // Handle the downloaded image
    case .failure(let error):
    // Handle the download error
    }
    }
    “`

Image Caching

  1. MOA automatically caches downloaded images to prevent redundant downloads. To customize the caching behavior, create an instance of MOACache:

    2. “`swift
    let cache = MOACache()
    “`

  2. You can then set the cache as the `defaultCache` for the image downloader:

    3. “`swift
    downloader.defaultCache = cache
    “`

  3. MOA provides various options for caching, such as setting a maximum cache size and expiration time. Explore the MOA documentation for more details on advanced caching options.

Image Presentation

  1. To display an image in your interface, you can use MOAImageView:

    2. “`swift
    let imageView = MOAImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 200))
    “`

  2. Set the image URL for the view:

    3. “`swift
    imageView.url = “https://example.com/image.jpg”
    “`

  3. MOAImageView will automatically download and display the image. It also supports placeholder images and fading animations. Refer to the MOA documentation for additional customization options.

Advanced Features

Besides the basic image downloading and caching functionality, MOA offers several advanced features:

  • Image Preloading: MOA allows you to preload images in the background, ensuring smooth and fast image loading when required.
  • Image Transformation: MOA provides a flexible API for applying image transformations, such as resizing, cropping, and applying filters.
  • Custom Networking: If you need to integrate MOA with your custom networking layer, you can implement the `MOANetworkLayer` protocol for full control over networking operations.
