ThisClass

Exposes class and type information as constants in the ThisClass class using source generators powered by Roslyn, inspired by ThisAssembly.

ThisClass

Add the ThisClassAttribute to generate type information for a class.

[ThisClass]
partial class Demo
{
    public Demo()
    {
        Logger.Info($"Hello from {ThisClass.FullName}"); // SampleApp.Demo
    }
}

NLog.Extensions.ThisClass

Create class loggers without using reflection.

using SomeNamespace;

namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    ...
    namespace AnotherNamespace
    {
        using SomeOtherNamespace;
        [ClassLoggerLazy]
        partial class Demo2<T> : SomeInterface<T> where T : SomeOtherInterface
        {
            public static void SayHello()
            {
                Logger.Info("Hello");
            }

            [ClassLogger]
            internal partial class NestedClass : SomeInterface<SomeOtherInterface>
            {
            }
        }
    }
}

Looks like this behind the scenes

// <auto-generated/>
#nullable enable
namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    partial class Demo1
    {
        public static partial class ThisClass
        {
            /// <summary>
            /// Gets the fully qualified name of the parent class, including the namespace but not the assembly.
            /// </summary>
            public const string FullName = "SampleApp.NLog.Demo1";
        }
    }
}

// <auto-generated/>
#nullable enable
namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    namespace AnotherNamespace
    {
        using SomeOtherNamespace;

        partial class Demo2<T> : global::SomeNamespace.SomeInterface<T> where T : global::SomeOtherNamespace.SomeOtherInterface
        {
            public static partial class ThisClass
            {
                /// <summary>
                /// Gets the fully qualified name of the parent class, including the namespace but not the assembly.
                /// </summary>
                public const string FullName = "SampleApp.NLog.AnotherNamespace.Demo2";
            }

            private static global::NLog.Logger? __loggerLazy;
            private static global::NLog.Logger Logger => __loggerLazy ??= global::NLog.LogManager.GetLogger(ThisClass.FullName);
        }
    }
}

// <auto-generated/>
#nullable enable
namespace SampleApp.NLog
{
    namespace AnotherNamespace
    {
        using SomeOtherNamespace;

        partial class Demo2<T> : global::SomeNamespace.SomeInterface<T> where T : global::SomeOtherNamespace.SomeOtherInterface
        {
            partial class NestedClass : global::SomeNamespace.SomeInterface<global::SomeOtherNamespace.SomeOtherInterface>
            {
                public static partial class ThisClass
                {
                    /// <summary>
                    /// Gets the fully qualified name of the parent class, including the namespace but not the assembly.
                    /// </summary>
                    public const string FullName = "SampleApp.NLog.AnotherNamespace.Demo2.NestedClass";
                }

                private static readonly global::NLog.Logger Logger = global::NLog.LogManager.GetLogger(ThisClass.FullName);
            }
        }
    }
}

How to use

Example (source csproj, source files)

CSharp Project
Program.cs
Person.cs

This is the CSharp Project that references NLog.Extensions.ThisClass

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="NLog" Version="6.1.2" />
	  <PackageReference Include="NLog.Extensions.Logging" Version="6.1.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="NLog.Extensions.ThisClass" Version="1.6.7" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Update="NLog.config">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

	<PropertyGroup>
		<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
		<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
	</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This is the use of NLog.Extensions.ThisClass in Program.cs

using LogDemo;

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
var person = new Person() \{ FirstName = "Andrei", LastName = "Ignat" };
Console.WriteLine(person.Name());

This is the use of NLog.Extensions.ThisClass in Person.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace LogDemo;

[ClassLoggerLazy]
partial class Person
{
    public string FirstName \{ get; set; }= string.Empty;
    public string LastName \{ get; set; \} = string.Empty;

    public string Name()
    {
        Logger.Error("This is an error message from the Name method.");
        return $"{FirstName} {LastName}";
    }

}
