KB.BufferedContextLogger

A scoped, buffered logging utility for .NET 8 that integrates with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T>. Logs are held in memory and only flushed when:

  • An exception occurs, or
  • An explicit Flush() call is made

Otherwise, logs are discarded silently when the scope ends.

✨ Features

  • ILogger<T>-compatible per-class logging
  • Shared in-memory buffer scoped to each request or operation
  • Flush only on error, or explicitly when needed
  • Supports object logging via JSON serialization
  • Safe disposal and memory cleanup

📦 Installation

Add the library to your project:

dotnet add package KB.BufferedContextLogger

Or reference locally in your solution.

🛠 Usage

Register Services (DI)

builder.Services.AddBufferedLogger();

Inject in Your Service

public class UserService
{
    private readonly IBufferedLogger<UserService> _logger;

    public UserService(IBufferedLogger<UserService> logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public User GetUser(string id)
    {
        _logger.LogInformation($"Getting user with ID: {id}");
        return new User(id, "Billy", "billy@example.com");
    }
}

Flush on Error Only

private readonly IBufferedLoggerContext _loggerContext;

public IActionResult Get()
{
    try
    {
        var user = _userService.GetUser("123");
        return Ok(user);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        _loggerContext.FlushOnException(ex, "Failed to get user");
        return StatusCode(500);
    }
}

Flush Manually

_loggerContext.Flush();

🧪 Testing

  • Logs are stored in memory — easy to verify via mocks or captured buffer

✅ Ideal For

  • ASP.NET Core Web APIs
  • Background workers and queue processors
  • Complex batch jobs with multiple services
