FluentValidation VS Serilog

Here is an example of Command handler with built-in Fluent Validation and fire and forget style:

There is an RFC called Problem Details (RFC7807) that standardizes how an error in an API should be responded to for the client. If you use Fluent validation, you may have noticed that the response is within this pattern.

here we're defining the input validation requirements using fluent validation rules. let's see what happens when the user input doesn't meet the above criteria. execute the same request in swagger with the following incorrect json content:

I remember FluentValidation being a nice library for this type of stuff.

Literally the code example in the front page: https://fluentvalidation.net/

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoMapper/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/Dapper/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/FluentValidation/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/FluentAssertions/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/xunit/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/YamlDotNet/ https://www.nuget.org/packages/Moq/ That is simply not true. Mature c# projects purposely maintain no downstream dependencies and is they do, it's to a major reputable lib. See for yourself - these are staple third party packages commonly used. Anything dependency starting with System or NETStandard is Microsoft maintained.

FluentValidator for validating and authorising certain fields.

Now that we know the importance of providing users with enough information about their requests and how it was processed, let’s focus on how we can configure our API to help us do that.One aspect of such meaningful experience is Request Validation (400 Error Range). For that purpose I am using a library called Fluent Validation.

To learn more about Serilog, you can visit the documentation on their GitHub project. To learn more about Seq, you can visit the documentation on their website.

These projects use dependency injection for connections and have no logging although they are ready to log to the console via SeriLog setup in Program.cs.

See here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Configuration-Basics e.g.

Captured in public static void OnActivated() and note Log is SeriLog.

"Serilog": { "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.File" ], "Enrich": [ "WithHttpRequestId", "WithExceptionDetails", "WithClientIp" ], "MinimumLevel": { "Default": "Information" }, "WriteTo": [ { "Name": "File", "Args": { "path": "../../../../../Logs/MyApp/MyApp-.log", "rollingInterval": "Day", "retainedFileCountLimit": "7", "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} {CorrelationId} {Level:u3}] {Username} {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception} {Properties:lj}{NewLine}" } } ] } 👆 I got the enricher names from serilog's wiki. The idea was to log the HTTPRequestId, ClientIp, and automagically log the details of every exception thrown (without having to do _logger.LogError(...)). However I don't see those details in the logs. In Program.cs: ``` var logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration) .Enrich.FromLogContext() .CreateLogger();

You could also write a custom destructuring policy, assuming it's a flurl-specific public exception type and you only need certain properties of it. You'd implement IDestructuringPolicy and then add it to the configuration:

Serilog for logging

I've cloned https://github.com/serilog/serilog and I'm not sure what's going on with the multitargetting in the tests? Does this (below) mean, if the dev's OS is windows, then target framework 462 or 471? What should I do on my laptop, which only has the net6 and fw48 sdk installed?
