A cross platform tool to read & query JSON aka CLEF log files created by Serilog

Releases are available on this GitHub Repository along on the Windows Store

You will need the following installed:

• node/npm
• .NET Core SDK 2.2+

For OSX & Windows you can download the SDK here or install Visual Studio for Mac/Windows which includes the dotnet CLI tool
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/

• Clone Repo
• Open terminal in root of project
• dotnet publish --runtime osx-x64 --output bin/dist/osx /p:TrimUnusedDependencies=true generates a self contained application for our WebAPI
• dotnet publish --runtime win10-x64 --output bin/dist/win /p:TrimUnusedDependencies=true same but creates the Windows version
• Change terminal directory to LogViewer.Client folder
• npm install
• tsc --watch This will compile the TypeScript files & continue to watch them
• Open a new terminal in LogViewer.Client
• npm run start Will run the Electron app for development with Chrome DevTools open/launched

Note: If you npm run start before you have compiled the TypeScript files then Electron will complain about not finding the entry point file. Additionally if you have also not run dotnet publish then the underlying WebAPI which we communicate with will not be running.

This package uses the following libraries:

• Serilog.Formatting.Compact.Reader
• Serilog.Filters.Expressions
• Serilog.Sinks.File
