CodoMetis.TypeKit.Serilog

Serilog integration for CodoMetis.TypeKit value objects and closed sets: each is logged as what it prints, also where Serilog destructures it.

dotnet add package CodoMetis.TypeKit.Serilog

It needs Serilog 4.0.0 or later.

using Serilog;

using var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .Destructure.WithTypeKit()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .CreateLogger();

logger.Information("Created {@Client}", new Client(ApiKey.From("k-123"), "Ann"));   // Created {"Key": "ApiKey(***)", "Name": "Ann", "$type": "Client"}
  • Why. Serilog destructures an object ({@Key}, or a record holding one) by reading its public properties, and a value object's Value is public: without this, a value object that masks itself with a hand-written ToString() is logged unmasked there, as { Value: "k-123" }, and nowhere else. With it, Serilog logs value objects as Microsoft.Extensions.Logging does, as their text.
  • Every value object, masked or not, is then a string in the event: an OrderId is "0199aaaa-…", not { Value: "0199aaaa-…" }, and a Quantity is "3". A list or dictionary of them is a list or dictionary of strings.
  • A closed set is logged as its name, or as what its own ToString() prints, never by its properties: {@Order} holds Status: "Shipped", not the set's constant data. An instance the set's own code made beside its members has no name, and Serilog logs that it could not capture it.
  • Nothing per type. A value object or a closed set is recognised by the attribute the generators put on it, so the host needs this package and the base package, not the generators. Other types are left to Serilog.
  • To mask a value object, declare ToString(); the Generators README says what else then still carries the value.
