Is it possible to set different cache timers? about kingfisher HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi, @alexdd55

Thanks.

It is an interesting feature and could be achieved if we implement a multi-cache system.

However, currently there is not a good way to do such things in Kingfisher since its single cache structure. A possible solution would be set/replace different cache object in the shared KingfisherManager object. But there is risk of thread issues since the cache property is not thread safe now.

It will not be difficult to add this feature but the hardest part is how to design the API.

I will consider it later. Thank you.

thanks for the quick answer. :)

Oh, I guess we'd better leave it open since there is possibility to add it later. :)

It is a cool feature.

By the way, if you need to separate the disk cache duration, a possible way for now would be giving up the UIImageView category (the kf_setImageWithURL methods), but to use the downloader and cache classes solely.

You are always free create and config your own cache with a name and duration. When you need an image, just check if a url is already cached there. If not, you can download with the default downloader and then store it in the cache you need. Although it is a bit hard to use :(

you right, keep that open :)

this is not a showstopper, it would just be very comfortable ;)

Implemented in #30 . Waiting for merging.

Added in version 1.2.0

Now you can use this code to use different caches for your images:

let avatarCache = ImageCache(name: "avatar")
avatarCache.maxCachePeriodInSecond = 100

let contentCache = ImageCache(name: "content")
contentCache.maxCachePeriodInSecond = 200

avatarImageView.kf_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: "avatar_image_url")!, 
                                                         placeholderImage: nil, 
                                            optionsInfo: [.TargetCache: avatarCache])

contentImageView.kf_setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: "content_image_url")!, 
                                                           placeholderImage: nil, 
                                              optionsInfo: [.TargetCache: contentCache])

Please let me know whether it works for you. Please notice that the options APIs are now deprecated, and you need to switch to the new optionsInfo version.
