DropBear.Codex.AppLogger

Description

DropBear.Codex.AppLogger is a flexible and configurable logging library designed to wrap around existing logging frameworks. It provides a fluent API for configuring logging behavior, including support for console and file outputs, custom log formats, and more. The library aims to make logging in .NET applications straightforward and adaptable.

Features

• Fluent API for easy configuration
• Supports console and file logging
• Integrates with ZLogger and Serilog
• Provides extension methods for easy setup with dependency injection containers
• Dynamic logger configuration through runtime methods

Getting Started

To use DropBear.Codex.AppLogger in your project, start by configuring the logger factory according to your needs:

Basic Configuration

var loggerFactory = new LoggerConfigurationBuilder() .SetLogLevel(LogLevel.Information) .EnableConsoleOutput(true) .Build(); var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<MyClass>(); logger.LogInformation("Hello, World!");

Advanced Configuration with File Logging

var loggerFactory = new LoggerConfigurationBuilder() .SetLogLevel(LogLevel.Debug) .EnableConsoleOutput(true) .UseJsonFormatter() .ConfigureRollingFileAsync("logs/", 1024).GetAwaiter().GetResult() .Build(); var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<MyClass>(); logger.LogDebug("Debugging information.");

Using LoggerManager

LoggerManager is a singleton class that provides a centralized way to manage and retrieve loggers throughout your application. It ensures that only one instance of each logger is created and provides a mechanism for reconfiguring loggers at runtime.

Retrieving a Logger

var logger = LoggerManager.Instance.GetLogger<MyClass>(); logger.LogInformation("Managed logger instance ready to use.");

Reconfiguring Loggers at Runtime

LoggerManager allows you to dynamically change logger configurations, such as log levels or outputs. This can be especially useful in scenarios where logging behaviors need to be adjusted without restarting the application.

LoggerManager.Instance.ConfigureLogger(builder => { builder.SetLogLevel(LogLevel.Warning) .EnableConsoleOutput(false) .UseJsonFormatter(true) .ConfigureRollingFile("logs/", 2048); }); var logger = LoggerManager.Instance.GetLogger<MyClass>(); logger.LogWarning("Logger configuration updated.");

This functionality supports dynamic environments and helps maintain flexibility in how applications log their activities.

Integration with ASP.NET Core

DropBear.Codex.AppLogger can be easily integrated into ASP.NET Core applications using the provided extension method:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddAppLogger(builder => { builder.SetLogLevel(LogLevel.Information) .EnableConsoleOutput(true) .UseJsonFormatter() .ConfigureRollingFile("logs/", 1024); }); }
