Get UIImage only with Kingfisher library

You could use the retrieveImage(with:options:progressBlock: completionHandler:) method of KingfisherManager for this.

Maybe something like this:

KingfisherManager.shared.retrieveImage(with: url, options: nil, progressBlock: nil, completionHandler: { image, error, cacheType, imageURL in    print(image)})

This is latest syntax to download image in kingFisher 5 (Tested in swift 4.2)

func downloadImage(`with` urlString : String){    guard let url = URL.init(string: urlString) else {        return    }    let resource = ImageResource(downloadURL: url)    KingfisherManager.shared.retrieveImage(with: resource, options: nil, progressBlock: nil) { result in        switch result {        case .success(let value):            print("Image: \(value.image). Got from: \(value.cacheType)")        case .failure(let error):            print("Error: \(error)")        }    }}

How to call above function

self.downloadImage(with: imageURL) //replace with your image url

With the new Swift 3 version you can use ImageDownloader :

ImageDownloader.default.downloadImage(with: url, options: [], progressBlock: nil) {    (image, error, url, data) in    print("Downloaded Image: \(image)")}

ImageDownloader is a part of Kingfisher so don't forget to import Kingfisher.
