Simple: Hosting

Making it simple to customize Hosting for your ASP.NET Core 6.x+ application

Key Points

• ✅ Sets up Serilog around the entire application. (:wrench: Configure all settings via your appsettings.json file(s))
• ✅ Simple to add some extra (helpful) log header/footer.
• ✅ Can also add logging to your Startup class (new with ASP.NET Core 6+)

In summary: this library makes is SIMPLE (by abstracting away most of the boring ceremony) to setup your ASP.NET Core application.

---

More Information:

Basically, turn your program.cs into this :

public static Task Main(string[] args)
{
    return WorldDomination.SimpleHosting.Program.Main<Startup>(args);
}

and you've now got some Serilog all wired up along with some nice application-wide error handling.

For more custom settings:

public static Task Main(string[] args)
{
    // Every Option here is optional.
    // Set what you want.
    var options = new MainOptions
    {
        CommandLineArguments = args,
        FirstLoggingInformationMessage = "~~ Sample Web Application ~~",
        LogAssemblyInformation = true,
        LastLoggingInformationMessage = "-- Sample Web Application has ended/terminated --",
        StartupActivation = new System.Func<WebHostBuilderContext, ILogger, Startup>((context, logger) => new Startup(context.Configuration, logger))
    };

    return SimpleHosting.Program.Main<Startup>(options);
}
