JetImageLoader load, cache, show, do it again!

Fast and powerful image loader with memory and storage caching for your Windows Phone 7+ projects!

(Many ideas were taken from UniversalImageLoader for Android)

Like a boss:

• Load images
• Cache them in memory
• Cache them on storage
• Do it asynchronously

Why JetImageLoader is super?

0) It was created to work as Converter! Look:

<Image Source="{Binding YourImageUri, Converter={StaticResource MyAppJetImageLoaderConverter}}"/>

WOW, yeah? Super awesome!

How to add && configure JetImageLoader in your project?

1) Easy to add to your project and start using it in only 4 simple steps:

• 1.1) Add reference to JetImageLoader.dll or use nuget: PM> Install-Package WP-JetImagLoader
• 1.2) Extend JetImageLoaderConverter and configure it:

  public class MyAppJetImageLoaderConverter : BaseJetImageLoaderConverter
  {
      protected override JetImageLoaderConfig GetJetImageLoaderConfig()
      {
          return new JetImageLoaderConfig.Builder
          {
              IsLogEnabled     = true,
              CacheMode        = CacheMode.MemoryAndStorageCache,
              DownloaderImpl   = new HttpWebRequestDownloader(),
              MemoryCacheImpl  = new WeakMemoryCache(),
              StorageCacheImpl = new LimitedStorageCache(IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication(), 
                                 "\image_cache", new SHA1CacheFileNameGenerator(), 1024 * 1024 * 10), // == 10 MB
          }.Build();
      }
  }
  

• 1.3) Declare MyAppJetImageLoaderConverter in App.xaml:

  ````
  
  
  ...````
  

  • 1.4) Set it as Converter for Image:

    <Image Source="{Binding UserAvatarUrl, Converter={StaticResource MyAppJetImageLoaderConverter}}"/>
    

  aaand that is all, now it can load images from network, cache them in memory and storage and then load them from cache!

  2) You can use your own implementations:

  Downloader implementation    — just implement IDownloader interface
  Memory cache implementation  — just extend BaseMemoryCache abstract class
  Storage cache implementation — just extend BaseStorageCache abstract class
  

  3) JetImageLoader already has basic implementations for all this things:

  1 Downloader implemetation      — HttpWebRequestDownloader based on HttpWebRequest class
  1 Memory cache implementation   — WeakMemoryCache based on WeakRefDictionary with weak references
                                   and auto GC cleaning (very cool)
  2 Storage cache implementations — LimitedStorageCache with configurable limit in bytes to store on disk
                                   and stupid UnlimitedStorageCache implementation
  

  NuGet: PM> Install-Package WP-JetImagLoader
