  3. For Rules, either select version, branch or commit.
  4. Select the Target where you would like to add Tangerine. The correct one should be already selected for you.
  5. Click Finish.

Manual Installation

Drag the Tangerine.swift file into your project. ?

Usage

Typically a view should have a single ImageFetcher, and as such it’s not possible for one to fetch different images with only one instance of a ImageFetcher. From a code point of view:

let tangerines = URL(string: "https://www.strongertogether.coop/sites/default/files/Tangerines.jpg")!
let fetcher = ImageFetcher(urL: tangerines)
let example = ExampleView(fetcher: fetcher)

struct ExampleView: View {
  @ObservedObject var fetcher: ImageFetcher
  
  init(fetcher: ImageFetcher) {
    self.fetcher = fetcher
  }
  
  var body: some View {
    VStack {
      fetcher.image.map {
        Image(uiImage: $0)
          .resizable()
          .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
      }
    }
    .onAppear(perform: fetcher.refresh)
  }
}

The actual HTTP request is done not when the ImageFetcher is created, but when the refresh method is called.

Tangerine also supports caching via NSCache. You can either supply yours, or use the default one.
