I needed to retrieve some configuration prior to registering the logger. UseSerilog is invoked before the Startup class. I sought to register the Factory manually but found out that is internal. I think that SerilogLoggerFactory is the main take away from this library and therefore exposing it would make it more flexible for those who don't want to use the extension methods.

Thanks for the PR, @jonathansant.

Does the alternative overload of UseSerilog(), which accepts a delegate, cover your scenario?

Best regards,
Nick

Since all my startup logic is in the Startup class, I can ugly hack it using statics but it would be ideal if I kept all the startup logic in one place. What would help is an extension method for the IServiceCollection class and then I could put everything in the ConfigureServices method. I can create a pull request for that if you prefer.

Thanks for the reply. I think providing the factory type is fine 👍

Looks good, just minor nitpicks. Thanks!

Indentation is funny here and below - may need to use spaces, rather than tabs?

Instead of Microsoft's ILoggerFactory we could use <see cref="ILoggerFactory"/>

/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="SerilogLoggerFactory"/> class.

/// <param name="logger">The logger.</param>
/// <param name="dispose">if set to <c>true</c> [dispose].</param>
