## About
<!-- A description of the package and where one can find more documentation -->
-
+`Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug` provides a Debug output logger provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. This logger logs messages to a debugger monitor by writing messages with `System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine()`.
## Key Features
<!-- The key features of this package -->
-*
-*
-*
+* Allow logging to the debugger output.
+* Provide extensions method for the [ILoggingBuilder](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.iloggingbuilder) class to easily enable this Debug logger.
## How to Use
<!-- A compelling example on how to use this package with code, as well as any specific guidelines for when to use the package -->
+```csharp
+using System;
+using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
+using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug;
+
+namespace DebugLoggerSample
+{
+ class Program
+ {
+ static void Main(string[] args)
+ {
+ // Create a logger factory with a debug provider
+ using ILoggerFactory loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder.AddDebug());
+
+ // Create a logger with the category name of the current class
+ ILogger<Program> logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();
+
+ // Log some messages with different log levels and message templates
+ logger.LogTrace("This is a trace message.");
+ logger.LogDebug("This is a debug message.");
+ logger.LogInformation("Hello {Name}!", "World");
+ logger.LogWarning("This is a warning message.");
+ logger.LogError("This is an error message.");
+ logger.LogCritical("This is a critical message.");
+
+ // Use structured logging to capture complex data
+ var person = new Person { Name = "Alice", Age = 25 };
+ logger.LogInformation("Created a new person: {@Person}", person);
+
+ // Use exception logging to capture the details of an exception
+ try
+ {
+ throw new Exception("Something went wrong.");
+ }
+ catch (Exception ex)
+ {
+ logger.LogError(ex, "An exception occurred.");
+ }
+
+ Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
+ Console.ReadKey();
+ }
+ }
+
+ // A simple class to demonstrate structured logging
+ class Person
+ {
+ public string Name { get; set; }
+ public int Age { get; set; }
+ }
+}
+
+```
