ref.state no longer available with >2.6.0

[nikel-abibiano]

Until now I was creating a provider like this:

@riverpod
MutationState<void, Task> saveForm(SaveFormRef ref, String id,
    EntitiesParam? entitiesParam, bool isNew, bool createdFromDetail) {
  return MutationState.create(
    (newState) => ref.state = newState,
    (task) async => ref
        .read(taskNewEditScreenStateProvider(id, isNew, entitiesParam).notifier)
        .saveForm(task, entitiesParam, isNew, createdFromDetail),
  );
}

With the deprecation of Ref subclasses, I will change the provider to

@riverpod
MutationState<void, Task> saveForm(Ref ref, String id,
    EntitiesParam? entitiesParam, bool isNew, bool createdFromDetail) {
  return MutationState.create(
    (newState) => **ref.state = newState,**
    (task) async => ref
        .read(taskNewEditScreenStateProvider(id, isNew, entitiesParam).notifier)
        .saveForm(task, entitiesParam, isNew, createdFromDetail),
  );
}

but now I get an error on the ref.state assignment because state is no available on the general Ref class. Whats the recommended way to solve this issue?

Use a notifier

Thanks. Solved with following code:

@riverpod
class SaveForm extends _$SaveForm {
  @override
  MutationState<void, Note> build(String id, EntitiesParam? entitiesParam,
      bool isNew, bool createdFromDetail) {
    return MutationState.create(
      (newState) => state = newState,
      (note) async => ref
          .read(
              noteNewEditScreenStateProvider(id, isNew, entitiesParam).notifier)
          .saveForm(note, entitiesParam, isNew, createdFromDetail),
    );
  }
}
