}
  • Loading an image with a placeholder:
let imageURL = URL(string: "https://example.com/image.jpg")
let placeholderImage = UIImage(named: "placeholder")
let options = CIWebImageOptions(placeholder: placeholderImage)
CIWebImageManager.shared.loadImage(with: imageURL, options: options) { image, error in

        // Process the loaded image
    } else if let error = error {
        // Handle the error
    }
}
  • Loading an image with resizing:
let imageURL = URL(string: "https://example.com/image.jpg")
let targetSize = CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)
let options = CIWebImageOptions(targetSize: targetSize)
CIWebImageManager.shared.loadImage(with: imageURL, options: options) { image, error in
    if let image = image {
        // Process the loaded and resized image
    } else if let error = error {
