Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum is a simple lorem ipsum generator for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS apps. It supports generating text in different formats (words, sentences, paragraphs), miscelianous data (names, URLs, dates etc.) and placeholder images.
This project was inspired by a great static site generator Middleman. Its lorem ipsum feature was also a data source for this project.

Images
Lorem Ipsum supports creating placeholder images by downloading them from following supported services:
Lorem Ipsum offers methods for synchronous and asynchronous downloading of images as well as retrieving the URL for an image without downloading it. All methods work for all four supported platforms. According to the platform, UIImage
or NSImage
instances are created.
Synchronous Downloading
UIImage *image = [LoremIpsum placeholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServicePlaceKitten
withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)];
NSImage *image = [LoremIpsum placeholderImageWithSize:NSMakeSize(100, 400)];
Asynchronous Downloading
[LoremIpsum asyncPlaceholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServicePlaceKitten
withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)
completion:^(UIImage *image) {
// use image here
}];
[LoremIpsum asyncPlaceholderImageWithSize:NSMakeSize(100, 400)
completion:^(NSImage *image) {
// use image here
}];
Image URLs
NSURL *URL = [LoremIpsum URLForPlaceholderImageFromService:LIPlaceholderImageServiceDummyImage
withSize:CGSizeMake(250, 250)];
