Oakrey.Applications.CustomLogging

The "CustomLogging" project is a .NET 8 library designed to provide a flexible and extensible logging framework. It supports multiple logging engines, including console, debug, file, and in-memory logging, and allows for broadcasting log messages to multiple receivers.

Features

Multiple Logging Engines:

• Console Logging: Logs messages to the console with color-coded output (ConsoleCustomLogger).
• Debug Logging: Logs messages to the debug output (DebugCustomLogger).
• File Logging: Logs messages to a file with customizable file paths (FileCustomLogger).
• In-Memory Logging: Maintains logs in memory for UI binding (CustomLoggerViewModel).

Broadcasting:

CustomLoggerBroadcast allows broadcasting log messages to multiple logging engines simultaneously.

Log Message Structure:

LogMessage provides a structured format for log entries, including log level, message, source, and indentation.

Log Levels:

Supports Info, Warning, and Error log levels (LogLevel).

File Path Customization:

DocumentsCustomFilePathProvider provides a default implementation for managing log file paths in the user's documents folder.

Extensibility:

Interfaces like ICustomLogger, ICustomLoggerEngine, and ICustomLoggerFilePathProvider allow for easy extension and customization.

Contextual Logging:

Supports setting a current context item for more meaningful log entries. 1.
