Open.Logging

A lightweight set of .NET libraries that enhances the standard logging infrastructure with additional formatters and extensions.

Features

  • Seamless integration with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
  • Beautiful console output through Spectre Console integration
  • Customizable log formatting and styling
  • Support for log scopes and context
  • Thread-safe logging operations
  • Exception formatting and display

Installation

dotnet add package Open.Logging.Extensions

or for more colorful output:

dotnet add package Open.Logging.Extensions.SpectreConsole

Usage

Basic Setup

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Open.Logging.Extensions.SpectreConsole;

// Add to your service collection
services.AddLogging(builder =>
{
    builder.AddSimpleSpectreConsole();
});

// Inject and use
public class MyService
{
    private readonly ILogger<MyService> _logger;
    
    public MyService(ILogger<MyService> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }
    
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        _logger.LogInformation("Operation started");
        // ...
    }
}

Customizing Log Level Labels

var customLabels = new LogLevelLabels
{
    Information = "INFO",
    Warning = "ATTENTION",
    Error = "PROBLEM"
};

services.AddLogging(builder =>
{
    builder.AddSimpleSpectreConsole(options =>
    {
        options.Labels = customLabels;
    });
});

Custom Theming

var theme = new SpectreConsoleLogTheme
{
    // Configure colors and styles
};

services.AddLogging(builder =>
{
    builder.AddSpectreConsole(options =>
    {
        options.Theme = theme;
    });
});

Buffered Logging

For high-throughput applications:

using Open.Logging.Extensions;

// Get logger from DI
ILogger logger = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ILogger<MyService>>();

// Create buffered logger
BufferedLogger bufferedLogger = logger.AsBuffered();

// Use with await using for automatic flushing
await using (bufferedLogger)
{
    bufferedLogger.LogInformation("This will be buffered");
}

Requirements

These may expand in the future. If anyone needs legacy support, please fill out an request in the repo on GitHub.
