How to profile a class library

[AlbertoVPersonal]

Current version MiniProfiler

4.3.8

Current version .NET

.NET Core 8.0.4

Expected behaviour

I would like to profile a class library internally.

My class is similar to:

public class StateManagement() : IStateManagement
{
 /// <summary>Sets the state asynchronous.</summary>
 /// <param name="statusKey">The status key.</param>
 /// <param name="statusValue">The status value.</param>
 /// <returns></returns>
 public async Task<bool> SetStateAsync(string statusKey, object statusValue)
 {
 bool result = false;

 try
 {
 // custom code

 result = true;
 }
 catch (Exception stateEx)
 {
 Console.WriteLine(stateEx);
 }

 return result;
 }
 
 //...
}

Workaround

I think that the solution is not the better.

public class StateManagement() : IStateManagement
{
 /// <summary>Sets the state asynchronous.</summary>
 /// <param name="statusKey">The status key.</param>
 /// <param name="statusValue">The status value.</param>
 /// <returns></returns>
 public async Task<bool> SetStateAsync(MiniProfiler profiler, string statusKey, object statusValue)
 {
 bool result = false;

 try
 {
 using (profiler.Step("Bulk op"))
 {
 // custom code
 }
 result = true;
 }
 catch (Exception stateEx)
 {
 Console.WriteLine(stateEx);
 }

 return result;
 }
 
 //...
}

The only option here is MiniProfiler.Minimal or referencing a larger package chain, but I would not advise doing so in general as this would bloat your library for profiling. e.g. as a user of the library, this would likely not be a welcomed dependency. Admittedly, this is not an aim of MiniProfiler past the dev environment.
