CodoMetis.TypeKit.Serilog

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

dotnet add package CodoMetis.TypeKit.Serilog

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.
  • Nothing per type. A value object 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.
