Custom output templates

Prerequisites: install formatting module, use one of text-based logs (console or file).

Constructing custom templates

There are two ways to obtain a custom template:

• Parse it from an arbitrary string:

  • var template = OutputTemplate.Parse("Here's the message: {Message}{NewLine}");

• Use OutputTemplateBuilder to construct it in code:

  • var template = new OutputTemplateBuilder()
        .AddText("Here's the message: ")
        .AddMessage()
        .AddNewline()
        .Build();

Passing to a log instance

Custom output templates can be passed to text-based logs as parameters in their respective settings:

var log = new ConsoleLog(new ConsoleLogSettings
{
    OutputTemplate = customTemplate
});

var log = new FileLog(new FileLogSettings
{
    OutputTemplate = customTemplate
});
