General info

Logger for your C# project
Saving logs to the console and to the .log or .txt files.
You can also save logs to the database (MySQL and PostgreqSQL).
Old files are backed up to reduce the size of the logs.

Installation

PM> Install-Package LoggerLib -Version 1.2.2

or

> dotnet add package LoggerLib --version 1.2.2

Usage

Example 1

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // If you want to change log directory or log extension
    LoggerConfiguration.LogsDir = "SomePath/Logs"; // Default: "logs"
    LoggerConfiguration.LogsExtension = "txt"; // Recommended: `log` or `txt` | Default: "log"
    
    // What type of logs should be logged
    LoggerConfiguration.MinimumLogLevel = LogType.Information;
    
    // Initialize logger
    Logger.Init();

    Logger.Info("Message");
    Logger.Warning("Message");
    Logger.Error("Message");
    Logger.Debug("Message");

    Logger.Info(new Exception("Exception message"));
    Logger.Warning(new Exception("Exception message"));
    Logger.Error(new Exception("Exception message"));
    Logger.Debug(new Exception("Exception message"));
}

Note

You don't need to declare LoggerConfiguration, values will be assigned by default.

Example 2

If you want this to be your main logger Example in the ASP.NET 6.0

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Logging.ClearProviders();
builder.Host.UseLoggerLib();

Logger.Logger.Init();

{
    DbType = DatabaseType.MySql,
    Database = "logger",
