ThisClass 1.3.3

ThisClass

Exposes class and type information as constants in the ThisClass class using source generators powered by Roslyn, inspired by ThisAssembly.

ThisClass

Add the ThisClassAttribute to generate type information for a class.

[ThisClass]
partial class Demo
{
    public Demo()
    {
        Logger.Info($"Hello from {ThisClass.FullName}"); // SampleApp.Demo
    }
}

NLog.Extensions.ThisClass

Create class loggers without using reflection.

[ClassLogger]
partial class Demo
{
    public Demo()
    {
        Logger.Info("Hello World!");
    }
}

You can also instantiate new class loggers with the this.GetCurrentClassLogger() extension method.

var logger2 = this.GetCurrentClassLogger();

Looks like this behind the scenes

public static Logger GetCurrentClassLogger<T>(this T sender)
            where T : global::ThisClassAttribute.IThisClass
            => global::NLog.LogManager.GetLogger(sender.ClassFullName);

namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    partial class Demo
    {
        private static readonly global::NLog.Logger Logger = global::NLog.LogManager.GetLogger(ThisClass.FullName);
    }
    
    partial class Demo
    {
        public static partial class ThisClass
        {
            /// <summary>
            /// Gets the fully qualified name of the parent class, including the namespace but not the assembly.
            /// </summary>
            public const string FullName = "SampleApp.NLog.Demo";
        }
    }
    
    partial class Demo1 : global::ThisClassAttribute.IThisClass
    {
        string global::ThisClassAttribute.IThisClass.ClassFullName => ThisClass.FullName;
    }
}
