BaltLogger is a logging solution based on pluggable components for .Net Core 2. This proposed solution uses the following tools:

• .Net Core 2
• .Net Standard 2
• Entity Framework Core 2
• MEF 2.0

• .Net Core 2 SDK

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/abalbin/BaltLogger.git
2. Navigate to src folder
3. Execute dotnet restore
4. Then dotnet build
5. Navigate to project BaltLogger.ConsoleApp and create a new folder called plugins. This is where you should copy the dll's o the IBaltLogger implementations.
6. Run dotnet run in BaltLogger.ConsoleApp project and have fun!

This is the interface that will be implemented by the loggers. Currently this solution only have 3 types of loggers:

• Console Logger
• Database Logger
• File System Logger

The types of messages that are currently supported are: success, warning and error.

The implementation of this logger is in the class ConsoleBaltLogger.cs. It consists of a simple printed message in Console.

This implementation uses Entity Framework Core with Sql Server for data persistance. Currently, the default database is named BaltLoggerDb and works with SQL Server LocalDB.

This logger will save the logging messages in a .txt file that will be created in a folder called logs within the ConsoleApp folder.

For plugging or unplugging the loggers, simply add or remove the libraries (dll) of each one in the plugins folder. For instance, if you wish to use all of the 3 loggers available, your plugins folder should look like this:
