Console containers implementation for Unity

About

Avoid using Unity Debug for messages, warnings or errors, and create dedicated container for the required logs context.

Features and plans

• Create containers for dedicated logs context.
• Ability to manually control container lifetime.
• Default "All" container which displays logs from all containers in order of their creation.
• Display StackTrace of logs with ability to open IDE where log was made.

How to use

To create container, use method Create from ConsoleContainer:

// Without specifying container name.
IConsoleContainer console = ConsoleContainer.Create();

// With specifying container name.
IConsoleContainer console = ConsoleContainer.Create("Custom Container");

To create logs in the container, use methods below:

// Inside class instance, where "this." will be the name of the class which creates logs in the container.
console.CreateText(this, "Text message");
console.CreateWarning(this, "Warning message");
console.CreateError(this, "Error message");

// Inside static context, where "this." won't work.
console.CreateText(nameof(ClassName), "Text message");
console.CreateWarning(nameof(ClassName), "Warning message");
console.CreateError(nameof(ClassName), "Error message");

To dispose container after it is no longer needed (useful for editor extensions or when reloading domain is disabled when entering play mode):

console.Dispose();
