Cancel single image download with Kingfisher

Question

I am using kingfisher for downloading a single image with one of these methods

KingfisherManager.shared.retrieveImage

or

ImageDownloader.default.downloadImage

My question is how can I cancel the current download so I can start another one?

I don't have an ImageView so I can't use

imageView.kf.cancelDownloadTask()

Answer 1

Both of those methods return a task object, RetrieveImageTask and RetrieveImageDownloadTask respectively. You'll need to keep the task object thats returned and call task.cancel() when you want it to cancel.
