Serilog's ILogger injected using Log.ForContext, where T is the consumer

Question

Serilog allows creating a context-aware logger:

Log.ForContext()

I would like to register Serilog with SimpleInjector in such a way that

Answer 1

I have integrated Serilog with Simple Injector with the following code based on @Steven genius answer on StackOverflow: logger wrapper best practice

public interface ILogger
{
    void Log(LogEntry entry);
}

public class SerilogLogger : ILogger
{
    private readonly Serilog.ILogger _logger;

    public SerilogLogger()
    {
        _logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .WriteTo
            .Trace(LogEventLevel.Information)
            .CreateLogger()
            .ForContext(typeof (T));
    }

    public void Log(LogEntry entry)
    {
        /* Logging abstraction handling */
    }
}

public static class ContainerExtensions {

    public static void RegisterLogging(this Container container)
    {
        container.RegisterConditional(
            typeof(ILogger),
            c => typeof(SerilogLogger<>).MakeGenericType(c.Consumer.ImplementationType),
            Lifestyle.Singleton,
            c => true);
    }

}

In your Composition Root:

var container = new Container();
container.RegisterLogging();
