How to load image from Images.xcassets into a UIImage with swift

Question

I have an image from the Images.xcassets folder and I want to load it into a UIImage programmatically using swift. How can I do this? Anyone done this before? Please give me some code examples!

let img : UIImage = UIImage(named: "here is the name of the image from Images.xcassets"); — Saurabh Prajapati, Aug 22 '15 at 05:02

Here's my code:

@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    imageView.image = UIImage(named: "Apple")
}

I created an image view and displayed an image inside it.

Enjoy coding!

You can also create a 'standard' color xcassets item and load it via:

UIColor(named: "--asset--name--here--")
