How to load an image in kingfisher without an image view?

Question

Kingfisher allows for some easy methods to load images asynchronously from network or cache, for instance:

imageView.kf.setImage(with: imageUrl)

Is there a way to load the image directly outside of the context of the image view? I.e. something like this:

Kingfisher.loadImage(with: imageUrl) { image in ... }

Answer 1

Yeah you just use

KingfisherManager.shared.retrieveImage

That function should have everything you need
