Duke.LogWriter 2.0.2

About Duke.LogWriter

That small library is designed for creating log files and is usually used in command-line applications. By default, do not require any settings.

Installation

A simple way is to install it from the Nuget package library and it is ready to use. No additional settings are required.

dotnet add package Duke.LogWriter

Usage

using Duke.LogWriter;
LogWriter.Instance.WriteLog("Hello world", true);

That code will create in your application work directory a new subfolder with the name logs and put the file in the format DukeLogWriter_yyyy_MM_dd.txt. The log will look like

[05:57:01] Hello world

Write Header

LogWriter.Instance.WriteHeader("Application start", true);

That code will print header text with formatting.

[06:27:45] ================================================================================
[06:27:45] =============================== Application start ==============================
[06:27:45] ================================================================================

File Mask

The File mask default value is DukeLogWriter_{date}.txt. You can change that mask.

LogWriter.Instance.FileMask = "TestLog_{date}.txt";

After that, all files will be in the format TestLog_yyyy_MM_dd.txt

Line Mask

The Line mask by default contains a time stamp + log string [{time}] {log}. We can change it and remove the time value.

LogWriter.Instance.LineMask = "{log}";
LogWriter.Instance.WriteLog("Hello world", true);

As a result, there will not be a time stamp on the log line.

Log Folder

The logger by default creates a subfolder with the name logs. You can change the name of the folder or set an empty string (will be used current application folder).

LogWriter.Instance.LogFolder = "BuildLogs";

Show In Console

By default, the logger does not print anything to the output console. It can be changed in two ways. Set the value to true

LogWriter.Instance.WriteLog("Hello world", true);

or by changing the default value.

LogWriter.Instance.ShowInConsoleDefault = true;
LogWriter.Instance.WriteLog("Hello world");
